SHOWTIME(R) ORIGINAL DOCUSERIES "COUPLES THERAPY" RETURNS TO AIR FRIDAY, MAY 23

Season Four of the Award-Winning Docuseries Returns with Nine New Episodes and New Couples

All Episodes Available to Watch on Friday, May 23 on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

April 14, 2025 - Paramount+ with SHOWTIME today announced that COUPLES THERAPY, the TCA Award-winning documentary series, is returning for the second installment of season four, with nine new episodes and all new couples.

All episodes will drop simultaneously on Friday, May 23 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

The first three episodes will debut on-air on Friday, May 23 back-to-back starting at 9pm ET/PT; the remaining new episodes will air weekly, with two episodes airing back-to-back on Fridays at 9pm ET/PT.

COUPLES THERAPY follows world-renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik as she deftly guides couples through real-life therapy sessions. The series brings viewers into the intimate sessions to witness the conflicts - and extraordinary breakthroughs - typically hidden behind closed doors.

The second part of season four invites viewers back to the couch, where Dr. Orna Guralnik navigates a thorny brew of recriminations, conflict and painful truths with four new couples. Guralnik delves into the crisis of a deaf man and his hearing partner torn between sexual freedom and commitment, a young couple haunted by trauma and buried secrets, a long-married pair trapped in cycles of bickering and avoidance and a therapist-writer duo locked in a zero-sum battle of sacrifice and grievance that pushes Orna to question her own methods.

COUPLES THERAPY won the Television Critics Association (TCA) Award for Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming in 2021 and the American Cinema Editors (ACE) Award for Best Edited Non-Scripted Series in 2024. The series has garnered additional award nominations from the International Documentary Association, 2023 TCA Awards, 2025 ACE Awards, Cinema Eye Honor Awards and Critics' Choice Real TV Awards.

COUPLES THERAPY is produced by Edgeline Films. Sundance Award-winning filmmakers Josh Kriegman, Elyse Steinberg and Eli Despres (Weiner, Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show) serve as executive producers along with Vinnie Malhotra. Matt Parker, Bennett Elliott and Carly Hugo are producers for the second installment of season four, with Pax Wassermann and Bennett Elliott serving as directors. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
