When was Married at First Sight Australia season 9 filmed?

Filming for the new series of Married at First Sight Australia was due to start filming back in September, however this was brought forward.

Typically, the contestants would start shooting their backstories for the show in September, with the weddings then taking place in October.

However, filming actually started two weeks ahead of schedule in August and lasted until the end of November.

Channel Nine took drastic measures to make sure that the show's stars were kept safe during filming.

As well as all the cast and crew having to be fully vaccinated, they all wore masks and weddings were scaled down to only involve a few guests.

With travel out of the question, most of the couples stayed in New South Wales for their honeymoons, while the couples also had virtual meetings with experts Mel Schilling, John Aiken and Alessandra Rampolla.
