Seven’s hit relationship series BRIDE & PREJUDICE: THE FORBIDDEN WEDDINGS returns for its highly anticipated second season.
What happens when a love story turns into tragedy? You’ve found ‘the one’ and you’re ready to make a commitment but your family is determined your relationship must end.
BRIDE AND PREJUDICE: THE FORBIDDEN WEDDINGS features six couples each desperate to marry the love of their life, but their families don’t approve.
In a bid to fix their fractured families, the couples will stay together at a retreat and take part in intense therapy guided by family therapist and relationship expert Leanne Hall.
During therapy, the couples and their families come face-to-face with the issues that have ignited tension and deal with the fallout of emotional and honest confrontations.
No topic is off limits as all attempt to mend existing relationships and forge new ones. The results are raw, shocking and compelling.
Can the couples gain their loved ones’ approval before their big day? Or, will their parents and friends sabotage their wedding day before they even walk down the aisle?
Can our six couples turn tragedy into triumph and prove that love can conquer all? Or will they be forced to choose family or fiancé?
THE COUPLES:
Hank (26) & Lily (23) Hank’s conservative parents Terry and Margaret believe Lily is too opinionated for their son and he would be happier with a woman who “doesn’t speak back.”
Ange (23) & Dylan (31) Ange’s religious dad John firmly believes being gay is a sin and thinks her planned marriage to girlfriend Dylan is a mistake that will send them both to hell.
Izzy (28) & Simon (27) Izzy’s mum Bobbi and best friend Amanda think Simon is a bad boy sociopath and a womaniser who will not do the right thing by Izzy.
Jess (21) & Seyat (19) Seyat’s mother Fatima thinks he’s too young to marry and he’s picked the wrong girl in “slutty, party girl” Jess.
Melissa (29) & Aalden (32) Melissa’s mother Jill and sister Rachel think Melissa is setting herself up for failure if she marries recovering gambling addict and cheater Aalden.
Ry (21) & Philippa (39) Philippa’s parents Peter and Gunilla think the 18-year age gap in their daughter’s relationship with partner Ry is an obstacle too great to overcome and worry he’s a gold-digger.
Sounds like more shit. They should’ve renewed The Wall.
Heck, even moving Instant Hotel would be a better move than this trash.
It flopped.
Not exactly the word I’d use. It did pretty well, but wasn’t well received. I secretly enjoyed it, binged it.
Well what’s the difference between “wasn’t well received” and flopped?
It started well but dropped fast and ended too low. I’d say axing it confirms my description.
As in critical reception
You’re joking, right?

I almost hope this ridiculous programming move flops and then they try to put factuals and Take Me Out back in the schedule to fill the gaps.

Has to be one of the most contrived shows on TV. People apply to go on the program because their families object to upcoming marriages then they pretend to show viewers the first time the objecting families find out about the engagement

Why?
The quality of the program of course. That mindless shite doesn’t belong on Australian screens let alone a 7:30 slot.
Unlike last year, none of the background stories this year seem all that interesting to me.
Sounds a bit silly but easier to pad out an hour with a re-enactment instead of a voiceover summary.

How on earth did this get a pick-up for a second season.
