DUBAI: Netflix’s UAE-based reality show “Love is Blind Habibi” has been nominated for an International Emmy Award.
The fan favorite is competing in the non-scripted entertainment category, according to the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
The nomination comes less than a year after the show’s global release, marking the first time the hit dating format was adapted for Arabic-speaking audiences.
“Love is Blind Habibi” centers around men and women hoping to get engaged and married, with one twist: They have never met their prospective partner in person and have only communicated through a wall.
This approach seeks to prioritize personality over physical appearance, with couples building a connection before meeting face to face.
