Similar to the new 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined series TLC is launching this month, Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam will feature raw, self-shot footage that will update viewers on the current lives of former Married at First Sight couples from the show's first ten seasons.
According to Lifetime, the couples' domestic lives will be documented in real time and shared via mounted cameras, Diary Cams and virtual group chats.
The couples who will be featured in Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam will include Season 1 couple Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner, Season 5 couple Ashley Petta and Anthony D'Amico, Season 6 couple Shawniece Jackson and Jephte Pierre, Season 7 couple Danielle Bergman and Bobby Dodd, Season 8 couple Stephanie Sersen and AJ Vollmoeller, Season 8 couple Kristine Killingsworth and Keith Dewar, Season 9 couple Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson, and Season 9 couple Gregory Okotie and Deonna McNeill.
In addition, one or more couples from Season 10 of Married at First Sight, which is currently airing on Lifetime, will appear. Those participants will be announced at a later date.
Nearly all of the Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam couples already currently make appearances on Married at First Sight: Couples Couch, another MAFS spinoff which features commentary on encore broadcasts of Married at First Sight's Season 10 episodes.
Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam will "feature never-before-seen footage captured by couples, revealing deeply intimate access to their lives," according to Lifetime, "including births of their MAFS babies, and other personal highlights of their lives" since starring on their original Married at First Sight seasons.

The new Married at First Sight spinoff will also bring the couples together virtually as they discuss their own hopes, dreams and futures.
"Lifetime viewers fell in love with these couples when they were on MAFS and in the unprecedented time facing the world, Married at First Sight: Couples' Cam now allows us to continue to provide intimate access to these couples as their relationships have continued to grow, even after their seasons ended," Lifetime and FYI executive Gena McCarthy said.
"With the uncertain times we are all facing and having to pivot our production practices, we are thrilled to be able to deliver this special and exciting new series to give our fans even more of what they love."
Married At First Sight: Couples' Cam is being produced by Kinetic Content and executive produced by Chris Coelen, Eric Detwiler, Ally Simpson, Geoff Nuanes, and Gena McCarthy.
In 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined, which TLC just announced last week, viewers will be given a glimpse into the lives of more than 40 former 90 Day Fiance franchise stars as they record themselves while quarantining at home.
