After last season’s turn of events, it looks like fans have seen the last of the hit reality social experiment TV series “Married at First Sight.” The reality show, whose concept is based from its Danish parent series, is not likely to be renewed for Season 3, as latest reports have claimed.
The premise of the program is simple – six singles, composed of three males and three females, they meet for the very first time, gets paired up by four relationship experts, and marry. The three couples live together for a month or so after spending their honeymoon. Thereafter, they decide if they stay together and make their marriage work or go their separate ways.
Speculations that the show have been axed by its mother network are plaguing social media these days especially with reports confirming that all the three couples from the last season have decided to part ways. The FYI network has not made any announcement that it has already renewed the show for Season 3, and thus further fuelling the cancellation rumors.
The Season 2 series finale showed only couple Davina Kullar and Sean Varricchio divorcing, but after the show ended its broadcast, news broke out that the other two couples called it quits as well even as the show prepares to air its reunion episode.
Things for Ryan De Nino and Jessica Castro took an awful turn due to cheating allegations on Ryan. Jessica even came to the point of ultimately filing for a restraining order against Ryan because her husband had allegedly threatened to kill her and her family. Christian Today reports that Jessica feared for her life and her family’s safety which ultimately puts the relationship in the trash. Fans have alluded that the couple’s murder vow was a big factor as to why the show will likely not see another season.
In more bad news, The Gospel Herald reports that couple Jaclyn Methuen and Ryan Ranellone also called their marriage off, despite promising in the series finale of Season 2 that they will try to make it work. Now that all experimental couples headed straight to splitsville in the past season, the show is left in the guessing game of renewal or cancellation. Reports claim that producers of the show are already having second thoughts regarding the reality series, or about doing another social experiment on air in the future.
During its Season 1, out of the three couples, only the pair of Monet and Vaughn decided to file for divorce. The other two other couples Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner, as well as Cortney Hendrix and Jason Carrion, decided to stay together. The two couples even celebrated their 2nd wedding anniversaries during Season 2. The better result of Season 1 enabled the TV series to live up to its expectation which is to create an actual lasting relationship even when two people were married at first sight.
Sad to say, the show lost its magic during Season 2 despite the show’s increasing fan base and its soaring ratings. Producers, however, are not ruling out that Season 2 was just an isolated case and if the show starts with a clean slate for Season 3, it could very well become the most defining moment of the social experiment.
Amid all the controversies the American franchise is facing, no official announcement from FYI and daughter network A&E has been made regarding the show’s cancellation. As it is, “Married at First Sight” Season 3 is a long shot, but the producers are apparently not losing hope for the show.
Reports are rife that the producers are still actively looking for brave singles looking for love, drama, and an instant spouse. Realty Today reports that FYI still has not taken down the post enticing hopefuls who want to take part in the series. If the producers’ leap of faith on the show will materialize, fans can expect the show’s third season to hit TV screens next year.
I hope this show is not being cancelled. I learn so much from it about relationships. It’s one of my favorite shows ever!
I watched it all w/hopefulness, but instead it turned into a giant mess.
Specialists are specialists who are able to help people in almost any circumstance~ IF people are accepting of the help that is offered. The 2nd Season failed, I honestly believe, because there were people involved who were dishonest with themselves and for whatever reason chose to lie and build upon those lies. I have faith that this process works just as much as a “Traditional” by chance or other circumstance marriage. Thanks to all who sacrificed their privacy for the world to learn lessons that may have not otherwise come to light.
I had hope for the couples. Marriage, the old fashioned way, hasn’t worked out perfectly, so I was willing to see if a process like this worked. It didn’t for these couples. But I feel like they didn’t give them a lot of options… Who wants to quit a career and sell their place when they have an insecure partner… An unstable one… Or one who changes his mind mid-stream? They didn’t vet them well, that’s for sure.
I felt for Jessica. Can’t stand to
watch or listen to Ryan. He is classic
Sociopath! Anyone who has survived
or escaped that situation would be
I’ll that experts could not Spot the
obvious. Giving him such a platform
makes me sick. He feels justified
and excuse me, winner!! Big “L”
should be tatoo for him…jessica
changed immediately who she was
to please him…did it work? Classic!
Narcissist…no place for shows
solidifying personality disorders…
I truly hope that you all keep this show going it is a true teaching lesson for individuals as to how others deal with different situations & the steps they take & also their determination to seek a real spouse & how much they’re willing to compromise & whether they will or not. Couples mesh differently & this teaches us a heck of alot also about communication skills & what people feel within. Don’t take this away from us.
I think this is so ridiculous !! Men and women meet and marry spend weeks and years apart sue to a job; career ; or government Emplyment and to base a failure on lack of commitment due to time put in !! You are weak and selfish !!!
I love the show. I hope they don’t cancelled it. I agree that it the people that wasn’t honest. Two of the guys wanted to live with Mommy. They better grow up because there no women want to live with mommy in law. Those guys want stay married to no one. But it not the expert and producer what those people did. They did a good job. They shouldn’t cancel due to one show failing.
This show needs help! Here’s my suggestions: Expand the experts! Bring on a long time married couple. That would help the couples take a closer look at reality of a marriage. Science can only take a relationship so far. Conduct some more interviews with family and friends. Some of the couples in Season 2 were really not ready. Maybe those closer to shed a little more light on the true personalities.
I hope they don’t cancel the show. I was really getting into it.
Please this show is good
I love the show. I hope is a session 3
Producers, I think your missing your audience’s point of view. First let me say I Love, love, love this show! It serves it’s purpose: the experiment is fascinating and entertaining to watch every week. So none of the couple “made it” this season, we’re not too surprised…its a highly risky chance that anyone would make it under these circumstances. Was your audience disappointed? Maybe, but that’s part of the commitment and risk for us watching…we may walk away being disappointed that our favorite couples may not make it. Your audience was still highly entertained week after week rooting for some couples while believing some couples were better off being single. We were just as entertained as season one when two couples stayed married. It’s about the process for the audience more than the end result isn’t it? It’s miraculous that anyone has stayed married in this venu. I think two couples out of six is excellent odds! Look at the show “The Bachelor.” Their stats for couples staying together are extremely low, yet it airs season after season entertaining their audiences with the social phnomenon of one person dating 25 people. Please keep the show going! It’s very very entertaining!
I would like to see Season 3 MAFS AIR ..
