The regional adaptation of Love is Blind debuted on Thursday, bringing together 20 singles from across the Arab world, each with their own unique stories and backgrounds. Hailing from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan and Iraq, the contestants of Love is Blind Habibi will, over the course of nine episodes, try to find genuine connections, fall in love and get engaged, all before they've even met.
The series hosted by Saudi celebrity couple Elham Ali and Khaled Saqer, is the latest spin-off of Netflix's hit reality show-cum-social experiment, which first premiered in the US in 2020. The show's success spawned a number of spin-offs with versions now in Brazil, Japan, Sweden, the UK, Germany, Mexico and Argentina.
