NEW SHOW JOINS MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT, MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT: COUPLES CAM, MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT: AUSTRALIA, MARRYING MILLIONS AND BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE AS PART OF NETWORK’S RELATIONSHIP CENTRIC UNSCRIPTED SERIES
L stands for Lifetime… and Love. The network dedicates two nights a week on its schedule to relationship series with Married at First Sight, Marrying Millions on Wednesday, and Married at First Sight: Couples Cam and Married at First Sight: Australia on Thursdays. For 2021, relationships go under the microscope once more with Lifetime’s order of the new spinoff series, Married at First Sight: Unmatchables, further expanding the Married at First Sight universe. Series is among the new relationship shows ordered by Lifetime including previously announced Battlefield of Love and the Sarah Jessica Parker/Pretty Little Matches produced Swipe Swap for next year.
“Married at First Sight: Unmatchables is an exciting new member of our Married at First Sight family,” said Gena McCarthy, EVP Development and Programming Lifetime Unscripted. “Each season we see so many amazing, complex and charming people that apply for the main show, but we simply can’t match everyone. Unmatchables allows these people a shot at love following our expert- led interventions and transformations.”
Over 65,000 people have applied to participate in the hit series, Married at First Sight… but some people are simply harder to match. Everyone deserves a chance at love, so the new series helps polish up the diamonds in the rough, providing them with strong relationship advice and a lifestyle overhaul to give them an opportunity to shed what’s been stalling real romantic connections in their lives. In each self-contained episode, Pastor Calvin Robertson and Dr. Viviana Coles will mentor two unlucky-in-love singles who simply couldn’t be matched previously and follow as they go through their physical and personal transformations, as they are set up on a date to see if love is in the air and if they have truly found their match. Married at First Sight: Unmatchables is executive produced by Chris Coelen, Eric Detwiler and Ally Simpson from Kinetic Content, along with Gena McCarthy and Cat Rodriguez for Lifetime.

Marrying Millions returns Wednesday, August 5 at 10pm ET/PT, where seven couples share their love lives, while dealing with the constant scrutiny they face with one person extremely rich, and their partner definitively not.

Meet the Unmatchables:
The Ladies
Ashli, 32
Ashli hasn't kissed a man in 11 years and hates the idea of being intimate. This Pastor's daughter must overcome her co-dependency issues with her roommate because they make it difficult for any man to get close, along with her bad gas.
Danielle, 29
A true conspiracy theorist, Danielle believes the earth is flat and monogamy is a scam. Her eye is always wandering for the next best thing, making it hard for any man to take her seriously. She seems to be super open and would welcome multiple husbands in her marriage - or - is it all a sham?
Evan-Nicole, 24
Successful hairdresser Evan-Nicole is a boss in business and "bossy" in relationships. Her impatience leads to her interrogating men on the first date. She even facetimes and eats full meals on the toilet to save time. She needs a serious lesson in manners...especially "bathroom" etiquette.
Gabrielle, 27
Gabrielle has never been on a date that didn't take place over text. Although she has a great sense of humor over virtual conversation, she can be brutally judgmental in person. The experts will try to help her become more vulnerable so she can turn her "text-ationships" into real-ationships.
Megan, 27
Megan comes as a combo deal with the only foods she eats, chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. This junk foodie is counting on the experts to help break down her walls and work on her trust issues so she can find a man that can keep up with her competitive nature.
Renise, 33
Renise loves wizards, magic, and... sex bondage. A relationship is not fun unless she's getting spanked while reading a fantasy novel. She has strong requirements on sex, politics, and literature - and if they don't hit the mark on the first date... Presto Chango...on to the next act!
Stephanie, 39
Stephanie is in search of a husband that will provide and pay for the upkeep of her appearance and expensive lifestyle. Although single for over a decade, she has no idea why it's so hard for a man to treat her like the princess she believes she is.
The Men
Brandon, 34
Brandon lives a double life, but his alter-ego "Legend" seems to be doing most of the living. His club promoting, party all day lifestyle doesn't leave time for him to pursue any meaningful relationships. He needs the experts' help to decide which life will get him the love he wants.
Caleb, 26
Caleb values looks over love... his own looks. He doesn't believe in conversation because according to him, all he needs is a smile to get a date. The experts will have to help Caleb look past the physical and work on his communication skills before falling in love.
Chaz, 30
Chaz is an ICU nurse who is successful at caring for people but fails when it comes to digging deep in matters of the heart. Chaz is a serial dater with superficial tendencies. He settles into any relationship as long as they look good next to him but fails at trying to get to know them on an intimate level...until it's too late.
Clyde, 30
Known by his friends as a "clean freak," Clyde is looking for a woman whose house is so clean, you can eat off their floor. He may be a lovable dork, but his obsessive nature scares away any potential of living with a woman.
Ervin, 37
With four broken engagements under his belt, Ervin is a true Runaway Groom. At first signs of trouble, he cuts and runs. This fitness trainer is so obsessed with a healthy lifestyle, he fails to see that his dating habits are the opposite of healthy.
Frank, 29
Always thinking ten steps ahead, Frank fails to live in the moment. Afraid of being judged by others, Frank overthinks everything when it comes to relationships. This "textbook only child" worries more about satisfying his parents' standards than his own.
Niraj, 29
Niraj is a mechanical engineer consultant who is as rigid as the robots he works on. Women are just numerical variables in one large mathematical equation. Although Niraj is a bachelor of over 15 years, this know-it-all believes he knows exactly who's the perfect woman that's right for him.
Sam, 29
Sam is as confused about his wardrobe and career path as he is his dating. Sam's wild styles and mood change so frequently, it's hard to take grip of his true goals and personality. Sam may think he's the "life of the party," but he may be seen as "too much to handle" to potential husbands.
Xavius, 25
Xavius is a funeral director in training that prefers the company of dead people. His regimented lifestyle and preference towards the looks and scent of a woman have him blinded from any potential relationships. He needs the experts to help him relax and smell the roses instead of smelling his dates.
