Will MAFS series 10 be any different?
Paul C Brunson recently opened up about the new series and teased that series 10 will feature some 'change'.
'Last year was the most watched series in the history of the franchise and I think that has improved each year that has gone by. What happens is normally a franchise will kind of lose steam, but this one picks up,' he told the Daily Star.
'So, the best thing I could say on this, without getting in any kind of trouble, is that this year you're going to see - I think you will feel - a change and I think that's going to endear people even more, to the project.'
