Married at First Sight is going bigger for its milestone 20th season — 14 singles, seven couples, and a new city on the map.
Season 20 relocates the experiment to Seattle, pairs up the show’s largest cast ever, and hands the matchmaking reins to two brand-new experts. Here’s everyone you need to know before the July 12 premiere.
The Full Cast List
Peacock revealed the full roster about a month out from premiere. Ages, hometowns, and occupations haven’t all been officially confirmed yet — this table will fill in as more details drop.

The New Experts: Paul C. Brunson and Dr. Lisa Paz
Season 20 swaps in an entirely new panel. Paul C. Brunson is a globally recognized matchmaker best known for his role on Married at First Sight UK, where he’s counseled couples since Season 6 — he’s also Tinder’s head of global research and co-hosts the British series Celebs Go Dating.
Joining him is Dr. Lisa Paz, a Miami-based clinical sex and marriage therapist stepping in as the season’s second voice on compatibility and communication.
Who’s Paired With Who: Confirmed vs. Rumored
Peacock hasn’t officially confirmed this season’s matches — that reveal is saved for the premiere. But two threads of information have leaked ahead of time, and they shouldn’t be treated with equal weight.
Rumored, sourced to a Reddit leak: A poster on the show’s subreddit claimed Adam Dehmlow is matched with Marissa Meyer, and that the marriage reportedly ended within two weeks — kept quiet until the reunion. This is unconfirmed by Peacock and should be read as speculation, not fact.
Hinted via trailer and fan sleuthing: The official trailer groups cast members in ways that suggest pairings, and the MAFSFan Instagram account has done its own digging to guess who’s with who. None of this is verified by the network either.
Take both with caution until Peacock confirms matches at premiere.
Notable Cast Member: Nick Uhlenhuth’s Reality TV History
Most of this cast are first-time reality contestants, but Nick Uhlenhuth isn’t new to the format — he previously appeared on both The Circle and Perfect Match.
It’s a built-in storyline to watch: how does a cast veteran navigate an experiment built on strangers meeting for the first time?
When Does MAFS Season 20 Premiere?
Married at First Sight Season 20 premieres Sunday, July 12, exclusively on Peacock. After the premiere, new episodes drop weekly on Thursdays in multi-episode batches, running 20 episodes total.
