E4 has confirmed that Married At First Sight UK will return for a dramatic one-off reunion special in 2024.
The reality show broke its own viewing record with the last series, becoming the biggest streaming title across all broadcast and subscription video on demand, in its penultimate week.
This follows from the news in September that the programme received its highest viewing figures ever.
Now the cast will reunite in the English countryside for an explosive dinner party to see what happened after the show.
Ella, Erica, Jordan, Paul, Shona, Thomas, Jay, Rozz, Georges, Matt, Peggy, Adrienne, Tasha and Laura will all be attending.

The dramatic retreat will allow the brides and grooms to rehash old dramas and reveal if their relationships have stood the test of time.
As well as the one off special, there will also be a fourth series airing next year with a new host of couples going into the experiment.
The new reunion will air on E4 in 2024 ahead of the launch of Married at First Sight Australia’s latest series.
However, one cast member that will not be invited is Luke Worley, after he was axed from the series after banging on the door of Jordan Gayle’s apartment where he lived with wife Erica Roberts and starting a fight with his co-star.
Luke was furious after discovering that Jordan had spoken badly about him to his wife Jay Howard, claiming that he would be likely to cheat on her if he could get away with it.
Following weeks of tension, Luke saw red and swung for Jordan, who has spoken about his past trauma with domestic violence.
As a result of his aggressive behaviour, Luke was removed from the programme with Channel 4, who have a ‘zero-tolerance policy towards violence’, saying his actions were unacceptable.
After being ejected, Luke has further angered Channel 4 bosses by posting threatening messages towards his rival on social media.

He has also been reprimanded for speaking about his experiences on a celebrity podcast despite cast members being under strict instructions not to reveal show secrets.
MailOnline recently revealed that Luke was told that he wasn’t welcome to take part in the six-months-on special, which was filmed in a secret location in East Sussex earlier this month.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Luke’s relationship with Channel 4 has deteriorated since his axing was aired.
‘Not only did he come to blows with Jordan but he’s also used threatening language towards him on social media, which of course the channel deems unacceptable.
‘Luke has spoken out about his experiences filming the show and no doubt will do so again… the trust between him and Channel 4 has been lost.
‘He doesn’t feel great knowing that the majority of the cast are filming the special and his invite was well and truly retracted but they feel that right now his attitude is too difficult to manage.’
Meanwhile, the reunion is also sure to touch on the new relationship that has blossomed between Shona Manderson and Matt Pilmoor.
The duo tied the knot with Brad Skelly and Adrienne Naylor on the show, however their respective romances both ended leading to their union.

Speaking to OK!, Shona, who was ejected from the experiment due to the toxicity of her marriage, delightedly as she spoke of her new blossoming romance.
She revealed: ‘We have a really healthy, happy, safe, fun, relationship – I really appreciate Matt, it’s what I deserve, we deserve each other’.
Matt admitted they ‘had to be so careful’ to keep their romance secret and while it would have been ‘incredible’ to be paired together from the start, he conceded: ‘I think it happened this way around for a purpose.’
Shona went on: ‘I’m proud to be his girlfriend and it just works. Matt would be driving and I would be in the back, we would be walking around Nottingham and I’d be all the way over there, we were like secret agents on a mission’.
Matt added: ‘We had to do it, we had to be so careful… We had to do what we had to do, my experience was good but we were meant to go on those journeys to find each other…
‘Being together from the start would have been incredible but I think it happened this way around for a purpose.’
