‘Love Is Blind France’ Coming to Netflix Next Year
by K.J. Yossman · VarietyNetflix is bringing “Love is Blind” to the City of Love with a French version of its hit dating show, which is set to premiere in 2025.
“Love is Blind” has already been adapted for a plethora of territories including Mexico, Japan and the U.K. France will be the 11th country to get its own version of the show, which is often hosted by a real-life celebrity couple.
In the U.S., the series is fronted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey while in the U.K. Matt and Emma Willis host the show.
The new version, which started production last month, was unveiled by Netflix’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria at the streamer’s international showcase on Monday.

“‘Love is Blind’ is a very unique format in the sense that it truly tries to find compatibility before chemistry,” said Bajaria. “In India, as you can imagine, we are very used to love being blind. But in a lot of other places, it’s a completely different experience. Over the years, we’ve taken ‘Love is Blind to 10 countries,’ and I’m thrilled to announce our next adaptation goes straight to the city of love with ‘Love is Blind: France.’”
“But we haven’t just swapped in a local host and cast,” she added. “We’ve changed the show to fit different cultures — so ‘Love is Blind: Sweden’ feels completely different from ‘Love is
Blind: Habibi,’ which connects Arab singles. I love ‘Love is Blind,’ and how it explores different cultures through dating. And it’s just so fun.”
“Love is Blind: France” will be produced by ITV Studios.
