The new season of Married At First Sight is right around the corner.
And on Monday, Channel Nine dropped an explosive new trailer offering a glimpse of the next year’s brides and grooms.
From the looks of it, the upcoming season is set to deliver a potent mix of nerves, tears, and undeniable chemistry.
The trailer begins with Tim Calwell attempting to woo his bride by reciting his vows in Spanish, a move that leaves his partner —and the audience— completely stunned.
‘I’m enchanted to meet you my love,’ he beams.
But not all attempts at romance are quite as smooth.
Tristan Black can barely string a sentence together, painting a very real picture of wedding day jitters.
Nutritionist Sara Mesa is then seen crying while reading her vows.
Meanwhile, Lucinda Light, 42, exudes confidence in her stunning dress and striking headwear.
She’s heard boldly telling her groom, ‘I’m dinner, and a show… and dessert!’
It’s a claim that sets high expectations for what’s to come in the series.
The ever-quotable Richard Sauerman, at 62, unabashedly declares, ‘I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, but f–k them, I drink coffee anyway.’
This candid approach is mirrored by 51-year-old Andrea Thompson, who confidently quips about her instant connection with her groom.
The new participants appear to be in pursuit of genuine connections, with 28-year-old Eden Harper candidly expressing her skepticism, ‘I don’t believe in love at first sight,’ she says.
The sneak peek alone has already sparked a buzz, showcasing a diverse range of participants ranging in age from 28 to 62.
This season seems to have a particular focus on those in the ’30s and up’ age bracket, hinting at a matured and perhaps more nuanced search for love.
The upcoming series will feature the diverse cast of brides and grooms, a more age diverse mix including our oldest ever participant, and a same sex couple.
There will be even more heart-pounding romance and highly addictive drama with twists, turns and shocks – even beyond Final Vows – and rivalries, betrayals and heartbreak that will divide friendships and rock the experiment from beginning to end.
Despite bosses claiming the series will be less ‘screechy and shouty’, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that season 11 has been the most chaotic series to film.
The upcoming season will be rocked by a cheating scandal, will see multiple cast members walking out and another ‘revenge porn’ incident.
A number of cast members abruptly quit the show, leaving the producers scrambling to pick up the pieces to the puzzle.
Simon Flocco, an Adelaide-based restaurant manager, almost ‘derailed’ the show’s plans to highlight a same-sex couple after he pulled out days before his wedding.
Casting producers were able to find a last-minute replacement and brought the couple in as intruders.
Another insider whispered about a mystery bride who ditched her vows, not even giving the romance a chance.
‘She was having none of it, and I think she was regretting ever signing up for the show,’ said the source.
Daily Mail Australia can reveal the new series will be rocked by a cheating scandal.
It seems one groom’s world is about to get shattered when he finds out about his bride’s secret rendezvous.
Season 11’s dinner parties will be also ‘the most explosive viewers have seen in years’.
Married At First Sight returns Monday, January 29, at 7:30pm on Channel Nine and 9Now.
