Married at First Sight UK Premieres on E4 After First‑Look Tease

A first‑look clip primed viewers for a premiere that quickly drew chatter over standout scenes, with questions lingering about the weekly timetable.

Overview

  • The new series launched at 9pm on Sunday, September 21 on E4, following a 12‑minute preview released on the 4Reality YouTube channel on Friday, September 19.
  • Eighteen participants, including two same‑sex couples and a grandmother, are matched by experts Paul C. Brunson, Mel Schilling and Charlene Douglas.
  • The UK edition stages celebrant ceremonies that are commitments on screen rather than legally binding marriages unless couples later sign a marriage licence.
  • Early footage features attention‑grabbing moments such as a groom rapping at the altar and the show airing stag and hen nights, with social‑media reaction and personal backstories including Davide Anica’s coming‑out account.
  • Outlets report conflicting weekly schedules, with some stating Sunday to Wednesday and others listing Sunday to Thursday, leaving the precise cadence unclear.
