First announced at Nine’s upfronts last year, MAFS: After The Dinner Party will stream weekly on Stan immediately after the main show’s dinner party episode, offering viewers a deeper dive into the moments that continue to fuel national conversation long after the table is cleared.
The series will be hosted by media veteran Jules Lund alongside Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne, the popular duo behind the Life Uncut podcast, bringing together experience across television, radio, podcasting and digital media.

Positioned as the first and only destination for immediate post dinner party interviews, the Stan Original will feature unfiltered conversations with participants, unseen footage that picks up where the broadcast episode ends, and candid discussion around the season’s biggest talking points.
With Lund, Hockley and Byrne leading the conversation, the debrief begins the moment the dinner party wraps, unpacking scandals, relationship flashpoints and the fallout viewers rarely get to see on air.
The format aims to extend the MAFS experience beyond the main broadcast, tapping directly into the show’s role as one of Australia’s most talked-about television events.
Adding further perspective, relationship expert John Aiken will contribute commentary across the season, analysing participant behaviour and the most debated moments as they unfold.
Lund, no stranger to Nine audiences after a long stint as one of the hosts on the network’s travel program Getaway, is also the founder of global influencer platform TRIBE and described the series as a home for viewers who want to dissect every twist in real time.
Hockley and Byrne bring their established relationship commentary to the format following the success of the Life Uncut podcast and their recent national radio run on KIIS FM.

For Byrne, who previously found love on The Bachelor Australia and has since appeared on Dancing With The Stars Australia, the series offers a chance to examine how reality television portrayals are shaped.
Hockley is no stranger to reality TV herself, with appearances across The Bachelor Australia, Bachelor in Paradise, The Challenge, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and Dancing With The Stars Australia, positioning her to interrogate the behaviours and controversies that continue to spark debate among audiences.
MAFS: After The Dinner Party is produced by Endemol Shine Australia for Stan.
The series will stream weekly from February 18, immediately following the dinner party episode of Married At First Sight, which premieres Monday February 2 on Channel 9 and 9Now.
