Married at First Sight is bidding Lifetime adieu as the hit reality series departs the network it’s called home for several seasons.

But where will it go next? Married at First Sight has been renewed for three additional seasons at Peacock, where it will now find a home. The renewal carries the show through Seasons 19, 20, and 21.

Originally launched in 2014, the series captures a social experiment of matching singles who are looking for love and having them marry on the spot with just two week’s notice. As couples meet for the first time on the altar, Married at First Sight has brought viewers plenty of memorable encounters and experiences, and will continue to do so on Peacock.

Lifetime/Kinetic Content

Peacock’s acquisition of Married at First Sight comes after a “competitive situation,” per the streamer. Along with the show’s flagship series, Married at First Sight‘s impact has spanned across the globe with 30 versions of the series airing internationally.

Married at First Sight is produced by Kinetic Content and Chris Coelen, the team behind Love Is Blind and The Ultimatum. The series will become part of Peacock’s premium unscripted lineup including titles ranging from The Traitors and Love Island USA to Paris and Nicole Richie’s Paris & Nicole: The Encore.
