Couples Therapy has its return date set. Season five of the series returns next month, and viewers can get a sneak peek with a new trailer.
Dr. Orna Guralnik’s work, as she helps couples deal with their relationship issues, is featured in the series. Paramount+ shared the following about the series’ return:
“World-renowned psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Orna Guralnik is back in session on Paramount+ with the fifth season of Couples Therapy premiering on Friday, May 15. All nine episodes of the award-winning docuseries will be available on the Paramount+ Premium Plan.
In Season Five, Dr. Guralnik counsels four new couples in crisis, navigating stark political differences fueling daily fights in a volatile marriage; a discovery of secret, paid cuddling sessions that blindside a couple; two people on the brink of moving in together who get derailed by an autism diagnosis; and teenage sweethearts who, twenty years later, wonder if they’ve outgrown the relationship.
On linear (Paramount+ with Showtime), the first three episodes will debut back-to-back on Sunday, May 17, starting at 10 p.m. ET/PT; the remaining new episodes will air weekly, with two episodes premiering back-to-back on Sundays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

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.
