how long after is the mafs reunion
The Married at First Sight reunion is usually filmed several months after the main experiment finishes, and then aired a few more months after that, once the regular season has gone to air.
How timing usually works
- The main MAFS experiment (weddings, homestays, final vows) is typically filmed many months before the public ever sees episode 1.
- The first reunion episodes (dinner party + commitment ceremony catch‑up) are normally shot after the experiment ends but before the season finishes airing, so they’re often around a few months after final vows in real time.
- A second or later reunion (like the extra MAFS UK series 10 special) can be filmed even later – sometimes 6–8+ months after the experiment – to show which couples are still together and what drama has kicked off while the show was on TV.
Recent example (MAFS UK)
- For MAFS UK series 10 (2025 cast), the reunion dinner party and commitment ceremony aired in mid‑November 2025, but cast members have said another reunion special is scheduled for February 2026.
- One bride explained that they filmed the reunion in June and then actually split from her husband about a month later, showing there can easily be a gap of several months between the experiment, the reunion filming, and when viewers finally see it.
What this means for “how long after?”
Since formats differ slightly by country and season, there’s no single fixed number of days, but in practice:
- Filming of reunion vs experiment:
- Commonly around 3–6 months after the main experiment finishes.
- Airing of reunion vs experiment finale (what you see):
- Usually within a week or two of the televised final vows, for the first reunion specials.
* Extra “where are they now”–style reunions can drop many months later (for example, early the following year).
If you say which version you’re watching (Australia, UK, US, etc., and which season), the approximate gap can be narrowed down more precisely for that series.
