After an explosive second season, the hit social experiment show's third season will feature Atlanta-area couples

Third Time's a Charm? Married at First Sight Will Return for Season 3

After a very dramatic end to season 2, Married at First Sight is set to return for a third season in December, PEOPLE confirms exclusively.

While the second season was set in New York, the six singles looking for their happy ending this time all come from the Atlanta area, according to a network description.

The hit social experiment show (produced by Kinetic Content) features three couples working through a legal marriage after meeting for the first time as they walk down the aisle.

The matches are created by four specialists: sexologist Dr. Logan Levkoff, psychologist Dr. Joseph Cilona, sociologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz and spiritual advisor Greg Epstein.

At the end of the experiment, the newlyweds decide if they want to remain together or file for divorce. All three couples from season 2 ultimately called it quits (Jessica Castro and Ryan De Nino’s split was particularly nasty).
