Love is blind finally arrives in the UK as 30 hopeful daters prepare to take part in the Netflix The first season of the show on British soil.
Following its success in the United States, where six seasons have aired, the show will arrive on the streaming platform this August.
Thirty stunning contestants hope to find a partner and get married during the show’s wedding finale.
Marriage formed by Emma and Matt Willis will take the place previously held by Nick and Vanessa Lachey in the US by hosting the entire series.
As excited fans await the new show, here’s what MailOnline needs to know ahead of its release.
Love Is Blind finally arrives on British soil as 30 hopeful daters prepare to take part in the first season of the Netflix show.
When is it in?
The first four episodes of Love Is Blind: UK will be released on August 7, followed by three more on August 14.
The final episode will air on August 21.
How does it work?
The Netflix dating series aims to help a group of singles try to form connections, without ever meeting the other person face-to-face.
Interacting only through their voices in special capsules, they will date for several weeks before choosing a person to marry.
After chatting in 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 weddings.
Couples will then discover if their physical connection matches the strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
The social experiment, which has already proven popular in the United States and seven other countries, will explore whether appearance, race or age matter.
Following the success of six US series hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, presenters and husband-and-wife duo Emma and Matt Willis take the helm on British soil.
Who presents the show?
Following the success of six US series hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, presenters and husband-and-wife duo Emma and Matt Willis take the helm on British soil.
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.
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 Drama School alongside Billie Piper, Amy Winehouse and rival band McFly member Tom Fletcher, set 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.
