Married At First Sight Australia’s eighth season gets UK airdate

Season eight of Married At First Sight Australia is finally making its way to British TV.

E4, which is the home of MAFS Australia and MAFS UK, recently announced that season eight will air in the UK on Monday, October 4, at 7:30pm.

Interestingly, it appears that E4 has decided to skip season seven of MAFS Australia.

Season seven featured the likes of Stacey Hampton and Hayley Vernon, and is generally considered the worst season of MAFS Australia.

Many of the storylines didn’t make sense, and cast members repeatedly fraternised off camera during filming, which caused much of the drama to happen off the show.

Instead, English viewers will get season eight, which featured memorable couples like Bryce Ruthven and Melissa Rawson.

Explosive: Season eight stirred up controversy in Australia earlier this year and featured all the tears, tantrums and cheating that viewers have become accustomed to 

So far, seasons four, five, and six have all aired in the UK to blockbuster success.

During the British lockdowns earlier this year, season six of MAFS regularly reached more than a million viewers per episode.

The show’s popularity caused E4 to retool the UK version of the show to make it more similar to the Australian version.

So far, the revamp has been a huge success, bringing in the biggest ratings that the UK instalment has ever seen. 

The premiere earlier this month reached a peak of almost two million consolidated viewers, making it the highest ever original series launch in E4 history.

Since then, it’s regularly surpassed two million viewers an episode and gone as high as 2.5 million.
