They will marry a complete stranger the moment they meet at the altar. According to PeacockThe season will feature seven couples navigating everything from honeymoon bliss and family introductions to major compatibility issues and difficult conversations about their futures.
And judging by the first trailer released by Peacock and YouTube, there will be no shortage of emotional moments.
A groom admits that Decision Day can end up being either the best or worst day of his life. Meanwhile, a hopeful bride declares she’s ready for her adventure to end. If history has taught us anything, either outcome is very much on the table.
Meet the new relationship experts
One of the biggest shakeups this season comes behind the scenes.
Season 20 introduces relationship expert and celebrity matchmaker Paul C. Brunson along with licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Lisa Paz.
Brunson brings more than two decades of matchmaking and relationship coaching experience to the experiment. Many viewers may already recognize him from his work on relationship-focused television programming.
Dr. Paz joins the series with more than 20 years of experience helping couples navigate intimacy, communication and long-term relationship challenges.
Together they will guide the newlyweds through the ups and downs of marrying a stranger.
The largest cast in franchise history
This season features 14 Seattle singles looking for love.
The cast includes Adam, Bellajolie, Caitlin, Cameron, Courteney, Devin, Felipe, Marissa, Mecca, Michelle, Nick, Nikki, Shawn and Tori.
In particular, Nikki, 46, and Shawn, 47, bring a slightly older perspective to the experiment, while several contestants are in their late twenties and early 30s.
The first look promises lots of romance, but also lots of excitement.
Viewers can expect emotional wedding ceremonies, honeymoon sparks, difficult conversations, tears, family drama, awkward life situations and at least one man who apparently finds himself sleeping on the sofa.
In other words, classic Married at first sight.
Season 20 premieres July 12 on Peacock. Starting July 16th, new episodes will be released weekly in multiple episodes leading up to the finale and reunion event on August 27th.
