With the return of Married at First Sight UK for its eighth series, your autumn entertainment is about to get a little more interesting.
The 2022 season surpassed ratings to become the network’s greatest programme of the year, with one episode – in which pair Jenna Robinson and Zoe Clifton left the experiment together – garnering over 50 million views on Channel 4’s on-demand service.
And that’s before you get to the rest of the drama, which ranged from Matt Murray abandoning his wife Gemma Rose to pursue a romance with Whitney Hughes to Jordan Emmett Connelly abruptly breaking things up with Chanita Stephenson.
We anticipate that this year’s series, which is slated to be the longest yet, will be just as entertaining.
But when does it begin, and who is in the cast this year?

You can expect new episodes every Monday through Thursday for the remainder of the series, which is the longest so far at 36 episodes.
This indicates that the series will most likely continue until mid-November, when we will see the crucial final commitment ceremonies.
Paul C Brunson, who has also appeared on Celebrities Go Dating, is the brains behind the matchmaking firm PCB agency, and describes himself as ‘the world’s most influential matchmaker’ – while MAFS Australia viewers will be familiar with relationship expert Mel Schilling, as she has been a part of that series since 2016.
‘This year is going to be by far our best series,’ Paul told The Sun.
‘For those who want to see roller coaster love stories, you’ve got them. For those who want to see couples implode, you got that. For those that want to see how couples compare against each other, it’s there. Wait till you see the dinner parties!”
