Netflix shares major Love is Blind UK season 2 update as first look trailer drops
Netflix fans say "let's go" as a beloved series is making a much-anticipated comeback soon. The wait is almost over – Love is Blind UK season 2 is set to grace Netflix screens again next month, with its return slated for August 13.
Featuring a group of hopeful singles on the search for their perfect match, Love is Blind adds a unique twist to the standard dating show dynamic. Participants engage in "dates" and forge connections without laying eyes on each other, conversing from within individual isolation pods.
Should a couple decide to take their relationship forward, they get engaged and finally have the chance to meet face to face.
The format has proven a smash hit, capturing viewers' hearts since its initial UK launch on Netflix in 2024, reports OK!. And now, a major update has been shared.
The upcoming instalment, presented by the dynamic duo Matt and Emma Willis, is just weeks away from release. Adding to the excitement, Netflix has dropped a fresh trailer and tantalising first-look snaps, giving fans a juicy glimpse into the dramatic new series.
The latest sneak peek shows emotional highs and lows, with tearful brides and strong allegations of disrespect through the teaser. Netflix's tantalising synopsis reveals: "Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
"When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, this series will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind."
However, not every episode will drop at once. On 13 August, fans can binge-watch episodes 1-4, but they'll have to hang tight until Wednesday, 20 August for episodes 5-8. The final two instalments will be available on 27 August, rounding up the series to a total of 10 episodes.
Netflix teased the upcoming season on Instagram, posting: "Unleash the magic, unleash the drama. Love is Blind: UK is back for season 2 on 13 August, only on Netflix."
Fans are buzzing with excitement, with one commenting: "Let's goooooo! ! ! ! ! LOVE IS BLIND UK is always breathe of fresh air.
"I knowwwww I won't be disappointed so fingers crossed." Another said: "YESSSSSSSSS READY TO BE OBSESSED."
A third shared their anticipation: "I so can't wait." While another replied: "I'm ready to be sucked in for weeks."
One more fan couldn't contain their enthusiasm: "BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! ! ! Let's gooo."

Neil Gaiman allegations explained as Netfflix launches Sandman season 2 part 2
Part two of the long-awaited second season of The Sandman, adapted from Neil Gaiman's beloved comic book series, is finally dropping on Netflix. The streaming service has already confirmed that this will be the last we see of Dream (Tom Sturridge), in an announcement that came in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations levied against Gaiman, who co-developed the show from his comics. The second season focuses on Dream and his epic final journey as he looks to rebuild his kingdom. But the show has been dogged by the accusations against Gaiman, which sent shockwaves through his fanbase earlier this year. The first six episodes dropped on July 3, with the second five arriving tomorrow. Ahead of the season, Netflix released a teaser trailer for The Sandman season two, which did not mention Gaiman by name. The showrunner, Allan Heinberg, notably also did not mention Gaiman or the allegations when he shared a statement about the show's conclusion.

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'The Sandman series has always been focused exclusively on Dream's story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season,' he told Netflix's Tudum. A number of projects involving Gaiman across film and TV have either been paused or cancelled altogether – including Good Omens on Prime Video, which is now ending in a feature-length episode without Gaiman's involvement. The allegations against Gaiman were first made in 2024, when a Tortoise Media podcast series detailed the claims of five women, two of whom accused Gaiman of sexual assault. Then, further allegations were made against Gaiman in a report in New York Magazine in January, which spoke to eight women, four of whom were also involved in the Tortoise podcast. The alleged behaviour included assault, abuse and coercion. Gaiman's accusers are adults, all of whom are younger than the 64-year-old author, including one who is nearly 40 years his junior. One of these women, Scarlett Pavlovich, said she was 22 when she first met Gaiman's ex-wife and punk cabaret musician Amanda Palmer in New Zealand and started to babysit the couple's child. It was during this time that she claims Gaiman repeatedly assaulted her, including one instance in which she claims he did so while his son was in the room. Pavlovich has since filed a civil lawsuit in Massachusetts against Gaiman and his estranged wife, Palmer, accusing Gaiman of repeatedly sexually assaulting her while she was working as the couple's nanny. The lawsuit reportedly accuses Gaiman of rape, coercion and human trafficking. Palmer is accused of 'procuring and presenting' her to Gaiman 'for such abuse', according to The Guardian. She is seeking at least seven million dollars (£5.6 million) in damages. Gaiman has strenuously denied the allegations. 'I'm far from a perfect person, but I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. Ever,' he wrote in a statement shared on his website in January. 'Some of the horrible stories now being told simply never happened, while others have been so distorted from what actually took place that they bear no relationship to reality,' the statement continued. 'I am prepared to take responsibility for any missteps I made. I'm not willing to turn my back on the truth, and I can't accept being described as someone I am not, and cannot and will not admit to doing things I didn't do.' After the New York magazine article, a representative for Palmer said she was 'profoundly disturbed' by the allegations. The musician wrote on social media: 'As there are ongoing custody and divorce proceedings, I am not able to offer public comment. Please understand that I am first and foremost a parent. I ask for privacy at this time.' When the show's executive producer, David Goyer, spoke about the second season, he emphasised he personally 'never glimpsed any of this', referring to the allegations. He told Variety: 'When the accusations first came out, I think we were three weeks from finishing filming Season 2 — so we were very, very far down the path.' He went on to say that Gaiman 'wasn't as involved in season two as he was in season one'. He continued: 'Obviously, it's complicated. I have tremendous respect for women that come forward in those situations. It's really concerning, but I know that Netflix, at the time, felt, 'God, we spent two years making this thing. There's all these actors and writers and directors involved that, if we didn't air it, wouldn't be fully compensated for it.' 'So we just decided, we're going to let this work speak for itself. But I'd be crazy to say it wasn't weird.' The first season of The Sandman arrived in 2022, but it has taken years to get the second instalment onto the streaming platform. The announcement that the second season would be The Sandman's last came in January, shortly after the sexual misconduct allegations were levied against Gaiman. However, Variety reported that the Netflix powers that be had decided the second season would be the last prior to filming in 2023 – before the accusations in the Tortoise Media podcast in 2024. This was something executive producer Goyer also reiterated to the publication, saying the ending was planned over two years ago now. 'We had a lot of discussions, Allan [Heinberg, showrunner] and I, with Netflix. And obviously we love the books, but one of the concerns about some of the story arcs is that Dream isn't in them very much,' he said. 'And the other thing was, even though the original comic book run was 75 issues, we just ended up burning through story faster than we thought we would.' More Trending 'When we talked through it, we felt, let's make a slightly bigger season 2 and take it through to the end. There's always the possibility that we could do some of the other spinoff material, if you will,' Goyer said. Metro contacted Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer's representatives for further comment.
