Could a Married At First Sight spin off be in the making?
The Lifetime Channel in the US announced during the week that it had commissioned a Married At First Sight off shoot called Married At First Sight: Unmatchables, a sort of all stars version of the hit dating show.
Imagine the characters, like fan favourite Jessika Power, who 9 would have to choose from if it decided to do an Australian version of Unmatchables.
Tantalisingly the network did not rule out that possibility when asked. Rather 9’s response was: “we have no comment to make at this stage.”
Meanwhile, casting is well underway for the next series of Married At First Sight with the aim to find young entrepreneurial types who have their act together.
According to one Melbourne business whiz who was approached to be part of the show, the pitch from the casting agent was that they were looking for singles that would lift the tone of the show.
It sounds like scrag fights, wine throwing and skanky behaviour may sadly be off the agenda for the 2021 series.
