All Love is Blind international versions ranked, from Habibi to Sweden

Is love really blind? Since 2020, couples around the world have been trying to prove that – mostly unsuccessfully – in Netflix's hugely-popular reality show Love is Blind . Following its debut, set in the US, the show has spawned eight international versions, including Love is Blind: Habibi , the Arabic edition, which premiered in October last year. The format is similar across all editions. A group of single men and women looking for love are introduced to each other through “pods”, where they can interact but not see the other person. Once participants have chosen their prospective partners, the couple meet for the first time and become engaged. They are then flown to a luxury resort where they spend time together and get to know each other better. In the final stage of the experiment, those couples still together go back to their respective lives where they meet each other's families and friends, and are given 10 days to prepare for their wedding. From Brazil to the UK and Japan, each edition of Love is Blind has proven to be a hit, turning some of its cast members into overnight celebrities. Love is Blind: Habibi , for instance, was viewed more than 1.3 million times in the first seven days after its debut. It also ranked No 8 globally among Netflix's non-English shows. With the second season of Love is Blind: Sweden set to start on Friday, Love is Blind: France coming later this year and Love is Blind: Italy also announced, here are all the international editions so far ranked by fan ratings on IMDb.
