Married at First Sight season 16 premiered on January 4, 2023, on Lifetime and reunited experts Dr. Pepper, Pastor Cal, and DeVon Franklin once again in the host city of Nashville. The season also introduced Dr. Pia as one of the experts. Of the five couples who were featured on the show, only one has stood the test of time and remained married to each other. The remaining four couples have split following the withering of their love.
Each new season of Married at First Sight deals with couples making a daring individual choice. Each half of the couples sign up to appear on the Lifetime show, where marriage experts and specialists determine their pairings.
The participants would meet for the first time at the altar, having never seen or heard of each other before. The show's title, derived from this concept, revolves around the ridiculous idea of marrying people at first sight.
