The Love Is Blind UK release date was revealed in a trailer on Thursday after it was announced that Emma and Matt Willis would lead the series.
The Netflix dating series will see the hosting duo help a group of singles try to form connections, without ever seeing eye to eye.
Set to launch on the streaming platform this summer, these first four episodes will drop on August 7, followed by three on August 14 and the finale a week later on August 21.
Interacting through their voices in Pods, they will date for several weeks before choosing a person to marry.
After the Pods, they get to interact with each other—and the other couples—for the first time as they move in together and plan their wedding.
The Love Is Blind UK release date was revealed in a trailer on Thursday after it was announced that Emma and Matt Willis would lead the series.
The Netflix dating series will see the hosting duo help a group of singles try to form connections, without ever seeing eye to eye.
Couples will then discover if their physical connection matches the strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
A trailer shows Emma and Matt sharing a packet of crisps on a train, when a woman is heard screaming from the toilet.
“I’m fed up,” the mysterious woman exclaims. “I’m fed up with these dating apps! I’ve stolen about 100 people’s numbers since Doncaster!”
“You must have strong fingers,” the director jokes.
From inside the cubicle, the woman replies: “You have a nice voice. Would you like to…?”
“Grow old together?” the driver interrupts.
The social experiment, which has already proven popular in the United States and seven other countries, will explore whether appearance, race or age matter.
More than a decade after their last joint work as TV presenters, Emma and Matt will team up again, following in the footsteps of other husband-and-wife TV couples.
And like Richard and Judy, Eammon and Ruth, and Rochelle and Marvin, the Willises may find their respective careers even more lucrative.

“You must have strong fingers,” the director jokes, before they fall in love upon hearing each other’s voices.
The couple, who married in 2008 and share three children, Isabelle, 14, Ace, 12, and Trixie, seven, will be at the helm to guide viewers through the popular reality series.
Emma began her career as a model before venturing into television and has remained faithful to presenting, appearing on some of TV’s biggest shows including The Voice and Big Brother.
However, Matt, who is eight years younger than his wife, remains most famous for his ventures as a pop star as part of pop punk trio Busted, and continues to tour with the band, with gigs in Margate and Newmarket scheduled for this summer.
Matt, who graduated from The Sylvia Young Theatre School with Billie Piper, Amy Winehouse and member of rival gang McFly, Tom Fletcher, ensemble Busted – originally called The Termites – in his Southend bedroom with James Bourne.
The pop-punk trio enjoyed huge success before splitting up in 2005, scoring four UK number-one singles and winning two Brit Awards for Best Pop Act and Best British Breakthrough Act.
In 2023, Busted announced a comeback for their 20th anniversary, while also releasing a greatest hits album and another stadium tour.
Now, after years of focusing on their careers separately, the pair have joined forces professionally, and communications guru Hayley Knight, who runs Be Yellow, thinks it could be a brilliant move for the husband-and-wife team, with big financial rewards.
More than a decade after their last joint work as TV presenters, Emma and Matt will be working together again, following in the footsteps of other husband-and-wife TV couples.
Knight says: ‘As well as boosting their profile as a couple, Love is Blind UK also aims to boost their bank accounts.
‘Individually, they would potentially be offered around £450,000 for the series, with Emma potentially receiving more due to her higher profile.
‘Although it’s hard to confirm, with their power as a couple and their presenting skills, and the huge hype surrounding the already successful show, it’s likely they’ll take home a seven-figure payday for the full series. I’d estimate around £1.3m.
“And I’m sure there was a lot of negotiation on both sides during the process.”
