When Is 'Love Is Blind: UK' Coming Out? What to Know About the Finale and Reunion's Release Dates
We double-checked the upcoming release dates and those pesky time zones.
The flagship version of Love is Blind may be on pause as fans wait for season 7, but Love is Blind: UK has arrived to fill our insatiable need for romantic voyeurism and chaotic drama. Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, the U.K. variant of Netflix's global reality show franchise has debuted with a must-watch season that reaches the heights of the U.S.'s early Love is Blind seasons when the cast members were more genuine about finding love. (U.S. defenders, might we remind you of Trevor?) The mess and butterflies come in equal measure this season. There are multiple couples to root for and a love-to-hate villain that exhibits several red flags. Suffice it to say, there's something for everyone.
Now that viewers are tuning in, many fans are curious when they can expect the episodes to drop. Read on for everything you need to know about when Love is Blind: UK is released, including when this season's finale and reunion will be available to watch in the U.S.

The series premiere debuted on the streaming giant on August 7, several more episodes arrived on August 14, and the season 1 finale is set to hit streaming on the platform on August 21.

Of course, this only counts for the season's standard 11 episodes. As for the reunion...
When will the 'Love is Blind: UK' reunion air?
Netflix has confirmed that the Love is Blind: UK reunion will be released on Monday, August 26, 2024, at 9 p.m. BST. This means the special episode will come out during primetime for British viewers, but much earlier for American fans, who can expect the reunion to drop at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.

Who will attend the 'Love is Blind: UK' reunion?
We'll have to wait until the August 21 finale to learn which couples made it past the altar. However, we can guess which cast members may return for the highly-anticipated reunion: Bobby and Jasmine, Freddie and Catherine, Ollie and Demi, Steven and Sabrina, Tom and Maria, and Benaiah and Nicole all seem likely. It's currently unknown whether Sam, the third member of the season's most infamous love triangle, will also attend the reunion.
Will there be a 'Love is Blind: UK' season 2?
On August 21, Netflix celebrated the release of Love is Blind: UK's season finale by announcing that a second season is official. Hosts Emma and Matt Willis confirmed the news with a special video—that appears to have been filmed from the reunion set—promising a "new batch of British singles looking for love in the pods."
“The response to [Season] 1 has been fantastic, and we are thrilled to go again on [Season] 2,” said Daisy Lilley, the Director of Unscripted UK Programming at Netflix. “We’re delighted that Matt and Emma Willis will be back as hosts as more hopeful couples navigate the highs and lows of this unique love experiment.”
