ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand announced at Wednesday’s 10 Upfront that it has commissioned the critically-acclaimed docuseries, Couples Therapy Australia for Paramount+.
A Paramount+ original, Couples Therapy Australia will be available to stream exclusively in 2022. The series will see real-life couples lay bare their intimacy issues with a professional therapist. Can clarity, compassion – and sometimes tough love – help reignite passion’s spark?
Produced by Warner Bros. for Paramount+, the docuseries will go behind the closed doors of a therapist’s office, dropping in on the secret world of other people’s relationships. In raw and emotional weekly therapy sessions, couples will hash out their real-life issues and share their extraordinary breakthroughs for the first time outside the therapy room.
The fly-on-the-wall series will allow viewers the visceral experience of watching couples explore interpersonal issues and delicately negotiate confrontation, all the while searching for a deeper, more intimate relationship.
Daniel Monaghan, senior vice president, content and programming, ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand, said: “We are thrilled to add Couples Therapy Australia to our growing slate of local productions on Paramount+.
“The groundbreaking series is in its third season in the U.S. and is a proven hit for SHOWTIME. Now it’s time to open the therapist’s door to couples in Australia and hear their stories.”
Couples Therapy Australia is a Warner Bros. production for Paramount+. The format rights are licensed by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.
