NEW YORK, May 27, 2014 - FYI will debut with a primetime lineup of seven new series in July. The announcement was made today by Jana Bennett, President of FYI and LMN.

"Reflecting FYI's mission of inspiring personal creativity across all aspects of viewers' lives, the network will premiere with an authentic slate of series that embrace FYI's adventurous, personalized and non-prescriptive approach to programming," says Jana Bennett, President of FYI and LMN. "Viewers will see a taste of everything FYI has to offer with a range of stories and experiences that reflect how people actually live their lives today, not defined by just one passion or interest."

FYI's primetime lineup for July includes the following original series:

"Married at First Sight"
10 one-hour episodes and a one-hour casting special / Premieres Tuesday, July 8 at 9pm ET
Based on the hit Danish format, "Married at First Sight" is an extreme social experiment following six brave souls who are yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to a provocative proposal: getting legally married the moment they first meet. Four specialists - sexologist, Dr. Logan Levkoff; spiritualist, Greg Epstein; psychologist, Dr. Joseph Cilona; and sociologist, Dr. Pepper Schwartz - will create what they believe are three perfect couples, based on scientific matchmaking. The couples will never meet or know each other until they walk down the aisle and see each other face to face, for the first time, when they get married. Each episode of "Married at First Sight" will follow the classic lifestyle stories of newlyweds - from the honeymoon to early nesting to other relatable events of married life. After several weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to separate? Produced for FYI by Kinetic Content. Chris Coelen and Sam Dean are Executive Producers for Kinetic Content. Executive producers for FYI are Gena McCarthy and Liz Fine.

The team that increases the appeal of their home to the max goes home with the grand prize of $50,000 and their home renovation will be featured in Dwell magazine.
