The UK edition of the hit dating show will land on screens this summer, with the first four episodes be released on August 7. Fans will then have to wait a week for the next five episodes, which will land on Netflix on August 14, followed by the grand finale and reunion on August 21.
The streaming giant released a trailer for the new show on July 11 via YouTube. The 70-second clip stars celebrity couple Matt and Emma Willis, who will be hosting Love Is Blind UK.
The teaser sees the two hosts aboard a train, with Matt reading a newspaper. The headline on the paper reads: ‘The UK falls back in love with love.’

She then tries to the ticket inspector out, saying: “Would you like to..,” but he cuts her off and jokingly adds: “…to grow old together? To get a two-up, two-down and a dog called Mark?”
The pair settle on going for a drink together, with the clip then turning back to Emma and Matt. Former Big Brother host Emma says: “Can you fall for someone without ever setting eyes on them?” with her husband responding: “Lets find out.”
Netflix fans were pleased to finally see the trailer, with many flocking to comment on the clip. One person excitedly wrote: “It’s about damn time!!!!” while a second said: “I can’t wait to see this.”

“Hopefully this won’t have forced drama like the US version,” a third fan said. A final fan joked: “I’d rather they brought back The Circle, but fine, I’ll take it.”
The official synopsis for Love Is Blind UK reads: “Can you really fall for someone, without ever setting eyes on them? Emma and Matt Willis host a social experiment where British singles look for love and get engaged, all before meeting in person. But who will make it down the aisle?”
The UK edition follows the huge success of the US version of Love Is Blind, which launched on Netflix in February 2020. There has now been six seasons of the reality show released, with each proving to be immensely popular with viewers.
