Find Me a Match

A behind-the-scenes look at how Australia's traditional Hindu, Muslim and Jewish matchmakers unite singles for the purpose of marriage.

In today's world of dating apps and social media, the observational documentary series takes a look at matchmakers, who are the preferred way to find the right partner for many cultures.

The series dives into the unique and private world of old traditions, religion, family values and culture through matchmaking.

It's a universal quest of love and marriage in contemporary Australia.

Is there such a thing as love at first sight? What does "happily ever after" mean? And what's love got to do with it?

The series follows three matchmakers from Jewish, Muslim and Hindu cultures as they help singles navigate the dating process to find a forever partner.

From first dates, awkward family meets and sensitive negotiations between all parties to the final resolution – a rejection or a wedding.

The journey offers a front row seat into the negotiations critical in bringing two families together.

In the series premiere: Sheikh Alaa Elzokm arranges weddings in Melbourne's expanding Muslim community; Preeti and Heena handle the difficulties of matching couples among Indian families; and Toby Lieder utilises her worldwide experience to pair up hopeful singles.

At the heart of Melo Movie is the rekindled romance of Ko Gyeom, and Kim Mubee.

Gyeom, a lifelong cinephile turned film critic, crosses paths again with Mubee, a budding director with a complex past.

Though they were drawn together in the past, an unexpected incident caused them to stay apart - until fate brings them back to face each other, confronting both old wounds and sparks.

Love is Blind 8

Singles who want to be loved for who they are have signed up for a less-conventional approach to modern dating in Seattle, and will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them.

Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.

When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with?

Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the series uncovers whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.

The series is back for an eighth season, following a new set of singles from Minnesota - all ready to cut through the static of modern dating and forge authentic relationships, sight unseen.

This season, the singles form deep and immediate connections, setting the stage for an unexpected journey full of twists, turns, and shocking revelations that will test each relationship well after the participants leave the pods for the real world.
