Married At First Sight 2026 Everything you need to know about the ‘uncontrollable wildfire of a season’ – as glamorous pansexual bride joins the cast

by

Season 2026 of Married At First Sight is already looking like the most dramatic and unpredictable season yet.

Channel Nine is preparing for a chaotic and unpredictable season of the show. New rules are being tested, some contestants are deliberately breaking them, and the production team is working hard to manage the resulting issues – one source described it as a situation that could quickly spiral out of control.

Before the new season begins, Daily Mail is sharing all the drama: from demanding brides learning to compromise to a groom caught using a dating app while the show was being filmed.

Season 13, coming in 2026, will feature a bride who identifies as pansexual – a first for the show since Mishel Karen appeared in 2020.

Friends say the bride is a very supportive and down-to-earth person. While she prefers not to define her relationships, she’s openly discussed her sexuality, which is anticipated to be a lively topic at the wedding.

The revelation quickly becomes a sticking point in her relationship.

According to a source close to the situation, the groom seemed surprised and a disagreement quickly escalated.

This becomes a big source of conflict for the new couple, and the resulting tension affects everyone else when they’re all together at dinner.

The confident bride is said to have brushed off any attempts to define her sexuality.

‘She says, ”I am who I am, and I don’t care what you call it,” the insider added.

She’s a lively and confident person who is attracted to women, but she doesn’t feel pressured to define her attractions or limit herself to a single label.

The upcoming series will also include same-sex couple Sam Stanton and Chris Robinson.

Next year’s dinner parties and commitment ceremonies will be unlike anything we’ve seen before. 

A recent dinner party was cut short after only two hours when a dramatic argument broke out, forcing the film crew to intervene and separate the participants.

Everyone involved was stunned. According to a source, the dinner party was incredibly dramatic – one of the most shocking they’d witnessed in all their years working on the show, and they weren’t sure how to move forward.

This season, show producers are taking a firm stance against bad behavior. They’ve set clear limits, won’t tolerate outbursts, and are even conducting routine drug tests for cast and crew.

Let me tell you, the brides this season started out thinking they were queens, but things quickly brought them back down to earth! I’ve been following the show closely, and it was honestly shocking to see how fast their attitudes changed.

The show’s producers were firm and wouldn’t compromise on any requests. One bride even tried to leave when she didn’t get what she wanted, but was reminded that doing so would violate her contract. This year, everyone was held to the same standards – there were no exceptions.

A bride on set reportedly disappeared for more than 12 hours after a disagreement with the show’s production team, causing a flurry of activity among the crew.

‘She left first thing in the morning and refused to answer her phone,’ the insider said.

The show’s team searched hotels and the surrounding area of Green Square, where filming is taking place, but they couldn’t find her. They really had no idea where she’d gone.

She eventually returned – but not before threatening to quit the experiment altogether.

Several participants walked out mid-experiment, while another quit the show to protect his image.

‘It was clear some of them had no interest in taking the process seriously,’ said the insider.

One groom boasted about having arrangements for after the show, while another explained to the producers he needed to leave prematurely to safeguard his reputation.

Not even the long-standing experts could keep things on track this season. 

Okay, so I’m hearing things are *insane* behind the scenes at Channel Nine right now! Everyone’s totally stressed about how we, the fans, are going to react. Apparently, this cast is the most chaotic, drama-filled one *ever* in the show’s history, and honestly? I’m living for it, but I can see why they’re worried! I just need to know *everything* that happened!

‘Nothing could prepare them for how badly this group would behave,’ one source said.

The show’s team is always trying to fix problems, and the actors seem to have given up on following any guidelines – it’s as if they’re intentionally letting everything fall apart.
