Los Angeles, CA (May 31, 2022) - The groundbreaking series Married at First Sight has led to 14 couples still happily married and nine children, proving you really can find true love being married at first sight! Now as the Critic's Choice Award-winning hit series embarks on its milestone 15th season, premiering with a three-hour episode, July 6, at 8p/7c on Lifetime, the show heads to the sunny West Coast for the first time ever. Singles from San Diego, California will meet their matches for a brand-new season, destined to be entertaining, surprising and full of romance.

With experts Pastor Cal and Dr. Pepper at the helm of this social experiment, the couples will have access to professional guidance and support along the way. New to this season, DeVon Franklin, Hollywood producer, NY Times Bestselling Author and Relationship Advisor and Dr. Pia Holec, a renowned psychotherapist who specializes in sex and couples' therapy, will bring additional support and advice to the couples throughout the process.

Every new two-hour episode will capture each couple's emotional journey as they go from wedding to honeymoon, to early nesting and navigating the daily struggles that come with a new marriage. The newly matched couples also get the opportunity to get together and share the good, the bad and the ugly about their unique unions. After the eight-week experiment comes to an end, each couple will make the biggest decision of their lives: to stay married or get a divorce. The love, stakes and suspense are at an all time high on this incredible season of Married at First Sight.
