Newlyweds: The First Year is an American reality television series that premiered on May 6, 2013, on Bravo.[1] The series chronicles the lives of four newly married couples from across the country. It follows the duos from their actual wedding day until their one-year anniversary, highlighting everything that occurs in between. None of the couples ever meet but viewers see the commonalities between their married lives.[2][3][4] On October 7, 2013, the series was renewed for a second season.[5] In April 2014, Bravo announced the third season renewal with both seasons airing in late 2014 and 2015.[6] However, Bravo later pushed the premiere date and the second season premiered on March 10, 2015. The number of episodes was increased from eight to ten.[7][8]
