Kinetic Content CEO Chris Coelen met his own wife on a blind date.
So he’s a natural to executive produce “Married at First Sight,” which pairs six strangers in legally binding marriages and then watches the inevitably fraught results. The reality series wraps its eyebrow-raising second season on Tuesday on FYI network.
TheWrap spoke to Coelen, who also produces “The Taste,” “Little Women:LA,” and prior shows “Wife Swap,” and “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.”
He gamely fielded questions table-side at the Beverly Hilton, moments after he and co-executive producer Sam Dean lost the Critics Choice TV Award to Clay Newbill and Mark Burnett for “Shark Tank.”
