Like every top-rated reality show, the reunion episode is where all the bits and pieces fall together.
After the release of the Love Is Blind, Habibi, the show immediately hit over a million views on the Netflix streaming platform in a few days, becoming a global favourite. So much so that the Arab reality series has taken the helm as the best version yet—even better than the original which the online community seemed to have decided on.
Since it has reached regional and worldwide eyes, fans of the show have been incessantly looking for the famed reunion episode. For context, the reunion is where all the cast members of the show answer all of the burning questions. And from the look of the trailer, it seems fans already have an idea of where it’s heading.
Set to premiere on November 1, 2024, the cast of Love Is Blind, Habibi will sit down with Saudi Arabian actress and host of the show Elham Ali, where moments will be dissected, questions answered, and feuds reconciled (everyone’s wondering how it would be for Nour and Mido after their devastating split).
At the end of a tumultuous journey behind the pods, only one couple passed to answer the question, “Is love really blind?” which is Safa and Mohammed. Many are looking forward to seeing if the pair continued to hit it off post-show.
Familiar faces such as Nour, Mido, Khattab, Asma, Dounia, Simo, Hajar and Ammar, all of whom became the season’s spotlight, are confirmed to appear in the episode.
With heaps still left unanswered about the contestants, viewers will finally get to know all the tea and update when the episode airs.
How does Love Is Blind Habibi Work?
The contestants began in the infamous pods, where they built emotional connections through voice alone. Over the course of several weeks, conversations got deeper and eventually, proposals were made between the singles.
After a grand face reveal, fiancés met face-to-face. But compared to its Western counterpart, Love Is Blind, Habibi functioned without the honeymoon phase in respect to the culture and region.
Instead, viewers got to see the respective cultures of each pair beyond the pods. From pre-wedding traditions such as the Katb al-Katb to even henna nights (a lively gathering for women before the wedding).
Bringing in more traditional values, the series also showcased the family’s participation in the engagement process.
