Great news for hopeless romantics who like to eat beans on toast — the hit Netflix reality series Love is Blind is getting a very British makeover. Following suit from the original U.S. version, as well as the Brazillian, Japanese, and Mexican takes on the show, the U.K. will soon have its own series, in which singles ready to mingle will take blind dating to the next level, arranging and agreeing to marry one another — all before seeing what their supposed soulmate looks like.

As is tradition with all Love is Blind shows in the franchise, married couple Emma and Matt Willis will host the British take on the series. Emma is best known for hosting Big Brother and The Voice in the U.K., whereas musician Matt is known as a member of the rock band Busted.

Love is Blind UK release date

The UK edition will launch worldwide on August 7th, 2024. Typically, new Netflix titles will drop on the streamer at approximately 8 a.m. UK time – which, for the Americans out there, is approximately 3 a.m. Eastern Time (ET), or 2 a.m. Central Time (CT).
