Lifetime has announced a new Married at First Sight self-shot spinoff series titled Couples’ Cam. The new show will follow nine fan-favorite couples from ten seasons of MAFS.
Married at First Sight: Couples’ Cam will focus on the good, the bad, and the ugly of domestic life for these couples with two significant twists.
First, the stories will take place in real-time. Second, the series will be shot entirely by the featured couples, as opposed to a camera and production crew.
