Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2 is officially confirmed for Netflix in 2026, bringing the UAE's breakout Arabic-language dating experiment back for another round. The show once again follows singles forming emotional connections — and deciding whether to get engaged — without ever laying eyes on each other.
A Regional Take on a Global Format
Love Is Blind Habibi adapts the internationally successful format for the Middle East, with episodes presented in Arabic and participants drawn from across the UAE. Rooted in cultural sensitivity, the show explores whether love can genuinely transcend appearances while navigating commitment, vulnerability, and the realities of building a life together.
The series returns after its first season received an Emmy nomination, cementing its status as a genuine hit among both regional and international audiences. Season 1 produced one married couple — Safa and Mohammed — making it to the altar out of all the finalists.
Originally launched during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Love Is Blind quickly became a global phenomenon. The format challenges participants to form emotional connections and commit to engagement without ever seeing each other. Conversations take place behind a wall, removing physical appearance from the equation until couples decide to meet face-to-face.
New Hosts for Season 2
For Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2, the show will be hosted by well-known celebrity couple Wissam Breidy and Rym Saidi, taking over from season one presenters Khaled Saqer and Elham Ali. The pair, who met on the Arabic edition of Dancing with the Stars and married in 2017, bring strong regional star power to the hosting role.
Globally, the franchise is fronted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey in the US and Matt and Emma Willis in the UK.
Cast and Release Date
Netflix has confirmed Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2 will premiere in 2026, though an exact date has not yet been announced. The new season will be available globally on Netflix, extending the Arabic-language series' reach beyond the Middle East and North Africa. Cast details — including which UAE singles are participating — are expected to be revealed closer to the premiere.
A Proven Formula for Success
The original Love Is Blind franchise has produced several real-life marriages, including fan-favourite couples Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, Amber Pike and Matt Barnett, and Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah. The series has even welcomed its first baby, born to Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski.
Dubai Reality Shows Continue to Thrive
Netflix's continued investment in Dubai-based content reflects the region's growing influence in global entertainment. Alongside Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2, the streaming platform has confirmed a fourth season of Dubai Bling, highlighting strong audience demand for Middle East–focused reality programming.
Season 2 of Love Is Blind Habibi promises more emotional journeys, cultural depth, and unexpected connections — proving once again that love, perhaps, really can be blind.
