Seven.One Studios International Scales Married at First Sight

Seven.One Studios International is further scaling its Married at First Sight megaformat with new spin-offs, recommissions and additional FAST channels.

Samsung TV Plus in Germany introduced a Married at First Sight FAST channel this month, delivering seasons from Australia, the U.K. and Germany. The move follows the introduction of a FAST channel for the show in Australia on 9Network. Season 12 of the Australian edition was up almost 15 percent on the prior one.

In terms of spin-offs, Joyn has ordered Married at Second Sight, targeting a younger audience, from Redseven Entertainment. Sister network SAT.1 is also on board for a 12th season of the show. M6 rolled out Married at First Sight: Second Chances, adapted from a spin-off Kinetic Content made for Lifetime, as well as a ninth season of the flagship and companion series Married at First Sight Life After. In Israel, Keshet Channel 12 commissioned Married at First Sight: Last Resort from July August Productions, a Seven.One Studios company.

In the U.S., the show has a new home at Peacock, boarding for season 19 from Kinetic Content. Warner Bros. Discovery Italy renewed its version for four seasons and SIC Portugal went for a fifth. RTL in the Netherlands has commissioned a new season, as has Belgium’s DPG, which also acquired versions from New Zealand, the U.K. and Australia.

“The global success of Married at First Sight is unparalleled,” said Tim Gerhartz, managing director at Seven.One Studios International. “Broadcasters and platforms worldwide recognize its unique ability to captivate audiences, spark conversation and deliver consistent ratings. With new spin-offs, fresh adaptations and long-term renewals, the franchise remains stronger than ever. We are thrilled to see its ongoing evolution across multiple media and markets.”
