Love Is Blind Italia is the latest version of the dating show on the streaming platform, with versions already available in the UK, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Brazil, Sweden, and Argentina.

"Love Is Blind Italia," produced for Netflix by Banijay Italia, "has begun casting and is now open to Italian residents," according to a statement from Netflix, which did not reveal when the streaming giant plans to release the Italian version of the show.
Since its 2020 US premiere, "Love Is Blind" has consistently ranked among the top 10 most-watched titles on Nielsen 23 times across six seasons in the United States, while also establishing itself as a global phenomenon.
The original series was created in the US by Kinetic Content, a subsidiary of The North Road Company. It has aired seven seasons on Netflix in the US.
Banijay Italia will produce the Italian version, and casting has already begun. No release plans have been announced yet.
The series follows a group of singles searching for love and choosing someone to marry without ever meeting them in person or any external distractions. When the wedding day arrives, they face the realities of marriage and external factors that could tear them apart.
The original American series "Love Is Blind" has spawned local adaptations in Japan, Brazil, Sweden, the UK, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Argentina, the UAE, and now, Italy.
The latest fully produced version of this addictive reality show, presented as a social "experiment" in which a group of singles enter soundproof "capsules" where they date other singles without being able to see their potential partner, is "Love is Blind: Habibi," which will premiere on Netflix on October 10 and was filmed in Dubai.
The British version, launched in August, shared the same synopsis as the American one, following 30 singles who "have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating and will choose someone to marry without even meeting them." The singles came from Dublin, London, Edinburgh, and places in between, aged between 27 and 38, and included a chicken restaurateur, a techno DJ, and a baby photographer.
