Love Is Blind UK returns to Netflix tomorrow, Wednesday August 13, with a second series featuring 30 new singles searching for love without seeing each other. The reality dating show, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, will release episodes across three weeks throughout August.
Among the participants is Katisha Atkinson, a 31-year-old nanny and makeup artist from Dumfries. After six years of being single and finding the local dating scene challenging, she's entering the pods specifically "looking for a husband, not a boyfriend" and hoping to connect with men seeking long-term commitment.
The eldest of seven children whose family moved 14 times during her upbringing, Katisha is ready to branch out from her small hometown. She wants to connect with the "right type of men" who are genuinely seeking lasting relationships and love.
Fan excitement builds
The show's return has generated significant excitement among Netflix viewers, with many praising the UK version as superior to its American counterpart. "Series one was amazing! So much better than its US sister," one fan commented on Reddit.
Another viewer highlighted the casting quality, noting: "I love that they're older and are genuine people with real stories." The enthusiasm continued with another fan writing: "It's such a breath of fresh air after the last few US seasons!! They're older, more mature and seem more real. Like they're not there just to get a social media following and brand deals."
Multiple viewers have praised the more mature participants and authentic approach. One fan described their viewing experience: "I was very pleasantly surprised and binged it in one go. I got a bit bored of the US version and it's so refreshing to see older people. It definitely feels more genuine."
Episode release schedule
The second series will unfold across three weeks with strategic episode releases. The first four episodes premiere tomorrow, followed by four more on August 20, with the final four episodes arriving on August 27.
One fan praised the overall production quality, writing: "The casting is fantastic, there are zero filler characters. Everyone is interesting, but it's not OTT drama either. It feels like real people having interesting but believable interpersonal drama. This is already the best season across the franchise for me."
