It’s fair to say that Love is Blind has become one of the most popular reality dating TV shows, in a market that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette had pretty cornered before Netflix decided to make a push into reality TV. Not only is the US version of the show going into its ninth season, but the show has already aired eight international versions, with two others confirmed, one in France and one in Italy.
But it’s not just that the premise is actually pretty unique: dating in pods without seeing what the other person looks like until you decide to commit to another, it’s that the multiple versions have given viewers a chance to experience how different cultures would live out the very same experiment. It’s like an experiment without an experiment! Survivor and The Amazing Race could never! And here, the winner gets love!
So, if you’re interested in going on a journey through all the versions of Love is Blind, and you want to know what the other versions of the show are and where to watch them, here’s where to watch all the Love is Blind versions, and where they are located in.
Love is Blind
The original Love is Blind, the show started in Atlanta, and throughout its eight versions has also been set in Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Houston, Charlotte, Washington and Minneapolis. The show’s ninth season, which has already been announced, will be set in Denver, Colorado. It’s basically The Voice but for dating, and it’s got a really good track record so far. In fact, there are 11 couples still together from 8 seasons. So, if you are in the mood to see people try to find their perfect partner without ever seeing them, or alternatively, in the mood for some drama, you’re in the right place.
Love is Blind: Brazil
The first spinoff, Love is Blind: Brazil took the love international and gave us new hosts, more diverse casts and very different discussions about day-to-day life and concerns than we had in the US version. If you’re interested in what this show would look like if it included contestants with different body types, and even contestants with disabilities, this is the version for you. Plus, even if you’re not there, the honeymoon locations will make you wish you could take a trip to Brazil.
Love is Blind: Japan
Love is Blind: Japan followed after Love is Blind: Brazil, and it was as different from the previous two versions as the countries are from each other. If you’re interested in a more low-key version, more in-depth conversations, and the most breathtaking meeting place of all the versions, this is the one you need to start with. It’s low on drama, but you won’t be disappointed by the end result if what you’re looking for is couples that actually last.
Love is Blind: Sweden
Love is Blind: Sweden showcased the Nordic country perfectly. There’s a lot of the show that feels like it could have only happened in Sweden, and yet this is also a great version of the show for both fans of a lot of drama and those looking for in-depth, serious conversations. If you want to watch a group of people taking the experiment seriously, this is the version for you. Plus, the aesthetics are top-notch. It’s hard to deny that.
Love is Blind: Mexico
Love is Blind: Mexico is the one that probably got a little messy, if we’re going to be honest. If you like drama, this is the one for you. And considering this is reality TV, there’s always someone who likes it a little bit on the dramatic side. There’s a little bit of everything when it comes to the drama too, and though we can’t say that the couples aren’t taking it seriously—in fact, at times, they seem to be taking it too seriously.
Love is Blind: UK
It feels weird to say this version has the wildest twists of any version of this show, because this isn’t a show you expect to have twists, but Love is Blind: UK truly feels like it throws you for a loop not once or twice, but three times. If you enjoy not knowing what to expect, this is absolutely the version for you. There are some memorable characters, memorable couples and moments that probably make it into a Top 10 of the show in general.
Love is Blind: Habibi
Wildly different from the other versions, Love is Blind: Habibi maintains the same format, but it becomes more a cultural window into the United Arab Emirates than just a dating show. If you’re interested in just that, the culture, this is a really interesting way of learning about it from a perspective you might never get a chance to see otherwise, particularly as you get to see men and women who are part of that very culture talking about what it’s like living in it and marrying—or possibly marrying in it.
Love is Blind: Argentina
Love is Blind: Argentina showcases how different two Latin American countries can be. Right in the heels of Love is Blind: Mexico, Argentina ironically feels so culturally disconnected from what we saw in Mexico, which makes it infinitely more interesting. This version is also very twisty, and there’s its fair share of drama, so it’s a good pick for people who lean towards that when watching reality TV.
Love is Blind: Germany
The last of the international versions to release, Love is Blind: Germany started out with what felt like a lot of deep conversations, but ended with high drama, so it feels like a good pick for people who want a little bit of everything. It’s also the newest one, meaning it only has one season and it was recently filmed, so it’s a good pick if you don’t want to feel like you have to look up a lot of stuff to figure out where these people are now.
