Paramount+ with SHOWTIME has announced that Couples Therapy, the award-winning docuseries featuring acclaimed psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik as she guides couples through real-life therapy sessions, will return for a fourth season.
Nine episodes will drop for binge-viewing on Friday, May 31, on streaming and on-demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan before episodes 401 and 402 debut on air on Sunday, June 2, at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Two back-to-back episodes will continue to air on Sundays at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, with episode 409 airing on Sunday, June 30, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Couples Theory brings viewers into therapy sessions with Dr. Guralnik as she deftly guides couples through the conflicts – and extraordinary breakthroughs – typically hidden behind closed doors.
In the first installment of season four, Dr. Guralnik uncovers the past secrets and current blowups of four new couples: A polyamorous trio struggles with power dynamics and hidden resentments; newlyweds grapple with religion and sex after severing ties with a disapproving mother; a fiery young couple who can’t stop fighting try living together for the sake of their kid; and Orna decides to prolong treatment for a particularly complicated case of a man who dissociates into multiple identities, and can’t remember fights with his partner.
The entire first season of Couples Therapy is available to watch for free sampling starting today, April 30, through May 31, at 11:59 p.m. PT across YouTube, multiple streaming providers’ devices – including Amazon, Apple and Roku – Pluto TV, and the Paramount+ Free Content Hub.
