A second season premiered on 29 October 2018[3] with six new couples.[4] During the second season, a casting call was made for new couples[5] with a third season confirmed for 2019.[6]

A 5-episode British version began broadcasting on Channel 4 on 5 June 2018.[7]

Production

Seven put out a casting call in June 2016 seeking couples in diverse, multicultural or progressive relationships. At the network's upfronts in October 2016, the network announced a "controversial new show" which was still filming at the time, whose format was being kept under wraps because disclosing details and the title of the program could affect participants.[8][9] It was confirmed in December 2016 that the program was Bride & Prejudice.[10]

Broadcast

American series

The original series began airing on March 15, 2016 on FYI. Like Married at First Sight with its fifth season, the series moved to Lifetime for its second season under the name Bride & Prejudice: Forbidden Love, and premiered on February 26, 2020.

Australian series

The series began airing at 9:00 pm on 30 January 2017.[11] Episode 5 aired out of timeslot on Wednesday, 22 February 2017 as a late replacement due to an episode of Murder Uncovered being pulled from its regular timeslot for legal reasons.[12] The second season debuted on 29 October 2018 and aired two further episodes in the following two days.[3]
