Season 12 of Married at First Sight was filmed in "The Big Peach" earlier this year, and while the new season won't officially premiere until January, Lifetime will be giving viewers their first look at the new season with a Married at First Sight: Matchmaking Special broadcast that will air tonight at 8PM ET/PT on the network.
During the special, Married at First Sight experts Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Dr. Viviana Coles and Pastor Calvin Roberson will be shown selecting the group of Atlanta-area residents who will marry complete strangers.
(Married at First Sight's third season was also previously filmed in Atlanta).
Next week, Lifetime will also air a Married at First Sight: Kick-Off Special broadcast on January 6 at 8PM ET/PT that will unveil additional never-before-seen moments from the selection process and "unreleased secrets" from the experts.

Like Season 11, Married at First Sight's twelfth edition will also feature five couples.
