Married at First Sight continues to film in Australia as relationship expert John Aiken returns to work on a new season following the death of fellow co-star Mel Schilling. Aiken characterizes the production period as “bittersweet,” reflecting the emotional impact of filming after her passing.
Both outlets describe Aiken’s comments in broad terms, focusing on how the show’s upcoming season is being approached after the tragedy. While The Mirror emphasizes that the season is the first filmed after Schilling’s death, Metro highlights that Aiken calls the new season “difficult.” Neither outlet provides additional detail about specific changes to the show, filming schedule, or format, beyond the emotional tone of the experience as reported by Aiken.
