"Married at first sight" has resumed for a fourth season. - Lou BRETON / M6

It's been a week since Married at first sight resumed on M6 on Monday evening. Just before the broadcast of episode 2, Télé-Loisirs announces that the production of the program "plans" a marriage between people of the same sex in a next edition.

The show's producer, Kamila Fievet-Palies, announced at a press conference in December that the production "is still working on it". "And that's it, I finally found a trick to carry out the casting without difficulties," she said.

Re-organize test phases

Because the candidates' compatibility tests are organized in a gendered manner. The production summons women on one side, men on the other, to have them pass these tests. Women and men never meet. But in the case of same-sex couples, the workshops must be organized differently so that the contenders do not meet.

Kamila Fievet-Palies explained all of this in January 2019, when asked about the arrival of a homosexual or lesbian couple on the show before season 3. "This requires separating everyone and when you have several hundreds of singles, it gets more complicated. But there are solutions and we are thinking about them. It seems that she has now found this solution.

The Australian version of the show was the first to organize a gay marriage, in season 3 in 2016. Since then, several foreign versions have done it in turn.
