The social experiment follows a group of couples as they meet for the first time at their wedding, and then follows them as they explore their budding romances.
News of the mega-hit series’ return, now in its eighth season, was revealed during the Nine Upfronts event on September 16, and we’re already counting down the days to watch the drama unfold.
