Everything we know so far about Love is Blind UK finale: Emma Willis and Matt Willis to host the debut season
As mentioned earlier, the finale of Love Is Blind UK is scheduled to for August 25, 2024, as reported by USA Today. With a total number of 11 episodes, the audience will get to see the journey of 30 single participants.
The show is hosted by the star couple, Matt and Emma Willis. As the trailer suggests this show will take the audience for a ride to find out - 'Is love really blind?'
The contestants are treated to a lavish vacation as they perform challenges and go on dates in "pods." They will get to know each other over a couple of weeks and get engaged if they like someone. They get to see each other only after they agree to get married. The finale brings the ultimate question for the couples who make it there, who will say 'I do'?
The creator and series producer, Chris Coelen, has affirmed that the marriages in the finale are legally binding. In February 2020, Coelen confirmed this during an interview with Bustle. He said:
"If they choose to get married, yes, it's a legally binding marriage." There you have it!"
In Love Is Blind UK, viewers can anticipate a format similar to its predecessor. The much-awaited finale will serve as the ultimate reveal, showcasing the couples who have successfully navigated the challenges after 4 weeks and are ready to take the monumental step of getting married.
In keeping with tradition, a reunion episode is likely to follow the finale, offering further insight and closure to the audience.
The cast list released by Netflix includes a funeral director, Freddie, who comes with his British humor, and Ryan, a cellist who prefers to date older women. As seen in the official trailer, Bobby is a 33-year-old luxury shopping guide looking for trust, loyalty, and a lot of excitement on the show.
In the trailer, another contestant Nicole is asked, "Why is she here?." She answers that she found it difficult to meet someone with the same life goals, and therefore, chose this social experiment as her way.
Watch the first four episodes of Love Is Bind UK only on Netflix this Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
