Love is Blind: UK is finally coming to TV screens after Netflix confirmed the UK edition months ago. The series follows on from the success of six US seasons of the dating show, which sees singletons get to know each other from within individual pods, never meeting until they get engaged.

The UK format will stay the same as the original, with dating hopefuls taking to the iconic pods to get to know each other but it will obviously be hosted by a brand new couple – Emma and Matt Willis, who have been married for 16 years!

Netflix have dropped the first trailer for the show, revealing Emma and Matt as hosts and the release date, 7th August, is finally upon us.

While we wait for it to begin, here’s what we know so far about Love is Blind: UK, from release date and trailers to episode information.
