Looking to capitalize on the success of its top rated reality series Married At First Sight, FYI in January will launch two marriage-themed reality series.
The network will debut a Married At First Sight spinoff Married At First Sight: The First Year, which will follow the lives of two couples married on the original series as they celebrate their first year as a married couple, said network officials.
The second series, Mikie Saves The Date, follows wedding planner Mikie Russo as he creates uniquely personalized and visually arresting weddings for his clients.
