EXCLUSIVE: ‘Married At First Sight’ Season 12 Heads To ATL — Meet The Cast!
Married at First Sight‘s season 12 takes place in Atlanta, Ga., and will premiere with a three-hour episode in January.
Ten singles will meet their new stranger spouse at the altar without knowing a thing about each other. This season features a groom nearing forty and another groom who’s been divorced—two MAFS firsts, and one couple who will be blind-sided by an overwhelming surprise they’ll have to face.
Each week, there’ll be two-hour episodes following the couples from the altar to the honeymoon, to living together and navigating a new life journey. In the end, each couple must make the hard decision whether to stay together or go their separate ways.
The new season premieres next year, but the MAFS journey starts before 2020 ends. On December 30, Lifetime will air the ‘Season 12 Matchmaking Special’ which will highlight the matchmaking process and introduce ten lucky singles that we’ll be seeing in 2021. On January 6, the ‘Kickoff Special’ debuts, giving viewers a more in-depth, behind-the-scenes special on the five couples who will be walking down the aisle. Until then, MEET THE COUPLES:
