Love Is Blind Comes to South Africa
Netflix, at a media launch in Rosebank on the 9th of September 2026, announced Love Is Blind: South Africa, the first South African edition of the globally successful social experiment that asks a single, powerful question: Is love truly blind?
Produced by afrOkaans, the series brings the iconic format to South Africa with a cast of singles ready to form deep emotional connections – without seeing each other – before deciding whether love can survive the realities of the outside world.
“Our post-production team has shaped a first season that is emotionally raw, surprising, and undeniably South African,” says Handrie Basson, Showrunner. “The journeys we’ve captured are intense and honest, and we’re excited for audiences around the world to experience this chapter of the Love Is Blind universe. Partnering with Netflix on Love Is Blind: South Africa gave us a global stage to do something we care deeply about: tell authentic South African stories. These are real people, taking a real emotional risk, showing real vulnerability in search of real love. And we believe that’s exactly what viewers will fall in love with too.” says Handrie Basson, showrunner and Executive Producer of Love is Blind: South Africa”
Love Is Blind: South Africa will launch on Netflix globally in late 2026.
