Netflix's dating experiment Love Is Blind's taken the world by storm, from Sweden to Brazil to the UK, and now, there's a new installment of Love Is Blind: Habibi - it will premiere this October with a new cast. The celebrity couple, Elham Ali (a Saudi actress) and her husband, Khaled Saqer, will host this brand-new Arabian version, assisting the couples in finding their soulmates. Love Is Blind: Habibi will follow a format similar to the original Love Is Blind, which has been a guilty pleasure since its premiere. The participants will build a connection in the pods without ever meeting.
If two people choose to get engaged, they will meet in person for the first time. The only difference will be that Love Is Blind: Habibi will consider cultural sensitivities and customs throughout the filming process. The local traditions and culture depicted on the show will make Love Is Blind: Habibi palatable for Middle Eastern viewers. Without further ado, meet the Arab singles who will connect in the pods and commit to marriage before meeting face to face. The cast members come from different parts of the Middle East and North Africa, including Syria, Iraq, Morocco and more.
