Married At First Sight’s eighth season began airing on February 22, with 18 strangers tying the knot in the first two weeks.
And it looks like the drama is about to ramp up on Nine’s social experiment, with three new couples joining the cast next week.
The newcomers include a professional actor, an events manager and prison worker.
