The Married at First Sight franchise is at an alarming turning point as trust from viewers has been waning, but there are signs season 19 will exceed expectations. Married at First Sight season 18's final reunion episode aired, and the "Where Are They Now?" episode will be the last of the season. Season 18 began in October 2024, and is shorter by one month than Married at First Sight season 17, which ran from October 2023 to late April 2024. The MAFS experts tasked with matching the couples and guiding them through the eight-week experiment have largely remained the same.
