A newly released trailer for the new season features a new batch of New Zealand singles hoping to find love.
The drama escalated when one boyfriend accuses another of ‘gaslighting’, while a girlfriend bluntly dismisses a situation as ‘nonsense’.
The tension doesn’t stop there, as the trailer features a particularly heated moment between a contestant and the show’s Australian relationship expert, John Aiken, who sternly warns: “Don’t go there.”
Aiken, who has appeared on every season of the Australian series since its inception, joins MAFS NZ to help guide a new group of brides and grooms to love.

The tension doesn’t end there, as the trailer features a particularly heated moment between a contestant and Australian expert, John Aiken, who sternly warns, “don’t go there.”
You’ll be seated on the couch next to sex therapist Jo Robertson, who will offer participants “practical strategies and conversations about chemistry, intimacy and affection.”
It is clear that John takes his no-nonsense approach to holding participants accountable across Tasmania.
In a statement to Nine, John expressed his connection to New Zealand and its diverse population, noting that he spent a lot of time growing up in the country and has been happily married to a Kiwi for 17 years.

‘I’m excited to be part of the new relaunch of MAFS NZ. “After being involved for over a decade with the Australian version, I can now bring all my lessons and knowledge to New Zealand singles looking for love,” she shared.
‘MAFS NZ will have a similar mix of drama, love and relationship learning that audiences love. I think those who tune in will really invest in the couples and watch with interest as they overcome all the challenges.”
Who will star in the show?
In addition to having one less expert, the New Zealand series will feature a significantly smaller field of participants.
Only eight brides and grooms will walk down the aisle, ranging in age from 26 to 37 years old.
