'Married at First Sight' Season 19 Premieres on Peacock with New Format, Texas Couples

The reality TV show "Married at First Sight" has moved from Lifetime to Peacock, with its 19th season premiering on October 23, 2025, featuring a four-episode launch. This season is set in Austin, Texas and includes 10 singles matched by experts Pastor Cal Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and Dr. Pia Holec, who guide the couples through marriage, honeymoons, and living together before deciding whether to stay married or divorce. The show, known for its dramatic and lengthy episodes, will adopt a faster release schedule on Peacock, delivering episodes in batches weekly rather than a single episode per week. Season 19 introduces new elements to the format, including a pregnancy, adding higher stakes for one couple. Fans have mixed reactions to the new release strategy, with some appreciating the quicker pace and others missing the weekly suspense. Produced by Kinetic Content, the U.S. version of the show is based on a Danish format and continues to explore the social experiment of marrying strangers at the altar.
