Get your popcorn ready because one of the Arab world’s most talked-about social experiments is officially returning. Netflix has confirmed that the hit reality series Love is Blind, Habibi is back, and it’s bringing media personalities and couple Wissam Briedy and Rym Saidi to helm the second season of the Emmy-nominated series.
The announcement follows weeks of mounting speculation after the duo, who made their joint debut on the Joy Awards red carpet earlier this month, teased fans with synchronized countdown stickers across their Instagram Stories. The cryptic posts, which pointed toward a major reveal at 12 PM Dubai time, sent social media into a frenzy as followers pieced together clues about their mysterious new project.
The Emmy-nominated series, which explores whether emotional connections can transcend physical appearances in Middle Eastern culture, captivated audiences during its inaugural season.
Last year’s edition delivered unforgettable moments as participants navigated cultural expectations, family dynamics, and ultimately, the question of whether love formed in isolated pods could withstand real-world pressures. The season concluded with tearful reunions, dramatic altar moments, and two successful marriages that continue to inspire fans across the region.
Love is Blind, Habibi follows the original format’s groundbreaking premise: singles communicate through walls, forming deep bonds without ever seeing each other.
