The Matchmakers (2024- )
This Valentine's Day, SBS will re-write the book of love with The Matchmakers, a heart-warming yet confronting documentary series which dives into the unique and private world of three of Australia's most successful cultural matchmakers.
In an age of online dating, profile pics, swipe-rights and high divorce rates, many hopeful Australians are turning to the ancient traditions of matchmaking to find ‘the one'. The Matchmakers goes behind the scenes of Australia's traditional Jewish, Muslim and Hindu matchmakers as they help singles in the universal quest for love in contemporary Australia.
Covering every dramatic and heartfelt beat – first dates, awkward meets and sensitive negotiations between all parties, the series offers a front row seat into the sensitive and nuanced negotiations critical in bringing two families together, as matchmakers work tirelessly to ensure their culture continues through to the next generation.

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
