The program “Married at first glance” is back for a 9th season on M6. This 2025 edition introduces new products that are not afraid to go very far …
When love fricote with reality TV, you have to prepare for everything. The dating program Married at first glance Return this Monday, March 3 on M6 Monday, for a ninth season which promises to be rich in twists and turns. The concept of the show, which consists in training couples according to compatibility criteria, evaluated by “experts” (we added the quotes), then to marry them without having ever seen themselves before, is renewed this year. The social and love experience, which does not fail to be talked about with each edition, will still look for the buzz this year, whether good or bad.
Over the seasons, Married at first glance Seeks to offer ever more unexpected situations to its participants. And this year, production seems to have put the double bites. Among the flagship innovations, there is a candidate well known to the faithful of the program: Clémence, who returns to try her luck after having lived a disappointment during the previous season. A second opportunity for this 39 -year -old business woman, not discouraged for a penny, who still seems to believe in the concept to find love.
This ninth season of Married at first glance Also introduces a new expert, Marie Tapernoux, a Belgian sexologist who joins the team alongside Estelle Dossin. Her approach to her is at the very least original and tactile: allow certain candidates to touch each other before their marriage, blindfolded. A way to create a first connection without revealing their physical appearance. The challenge is even pushed to his climax for a participant who will have to say “yes” without even having seen her future husband once.
Another big change: a candidate of Married at first glance has not expressed any gender preference this season! He will therefore discover the D-Day if he will marry a man or a woman. A daring bet on the part of production that puts everything on profile compatibility, beyond questions of sexual orientation. While the first images suggest particularly touching sequences, some still wonder about these experiments.
We understood, Married at first glance still wants to shake up the traditional codes of the romantic encounter and dares more and more sulphurous stratagems (but obviously “in tune with the times”) to stay visible. Last year, the show brought together 2.17 million viewers each evening on average, compared to 3 to 3.5 million during the launch in 2016 and during the best premiums.
