Netflix has set 12 November as the global launch date for Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2. The pods reopen with 13 men and 14 women from across the Arab world, and the 10-episode season has a new pair of hosts.
The cast comes from a wide spread of countries. Netflix lists Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, and Tunisia. Season one featured 20 participants, an equal number of men and women, so this cast is larger.
The hosting seat has also changed. Netflix says celebrity couple Rym Saidi and Wissam Braidy front the new season. The National reported in January that they replaced Khaled Saqer and Elham Ali. The format stays the same. Singles build connections without seeing each other, then face what Netflix describes as family expectations, tradition and modern courtship once the pod doors open. The question at the end is whether they’ll say “I do”.
The first season debuted in 2024. Netflix first confirmed the return in its 2026 Arabic slate, with the date still to be announced.
There’s no standalone trailer yet, but parts of the new season appear in Netflix’s teaser for its 2026 Arabic content.

Where do the contestants come from?
They come from across the Arab world. Netflix names Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, and Tunisia as some of the countries.
