Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers for previous seasons (115) of Married at First Sight.

For some people, the idea of waiting around to find a soulmate seems unbearable and impatience makes it hard to hold out. On the flip side, the idea of a long engagement sounds stressful and annoying. These are the type of people who would be perfect as cast members on Married at First Sight, a reality TV show that’s been airing since 2014.

The Lifetime hit has become one of the most cringeworthy yet addictive shows to binge-watch ever since it first premiered. The premise of the show? Two perfect strangers meet each other for the first time as they walk down the aisle — on their wedding day! It sounds crazy, but it’s real and it’s quite interesting.

Here’s where the show is filmed.

'Married at First Sight' films in cities across the U.S.

With Season 16 underway featuring all-new couples in Nashville, it's time to take a look back at prior filming locations for the show. (Spoilers for previous seasons ahead!)

The filming location for the first season of Married at First Sight was New York City. In that season, we were introduced to a nurse named Jamie Otis who tied the knot with a software salesman named Doug Hehner. Fortunately, these two are still married to this day!

While the second season of the show followed the pattern of the first season by also taking place in New York City, most of the seasons after that have been filmed in other cities.

The third season took place in Atlanta and premiered in 2015. As sad as it is to say, all three of the couples to come from this city have ended up divorced.

Season 4 of the show was filmed in South Florida with all three of the couples also ending in divorce.
