Serving as a spinoff to Love is Blind, Love is Blind: UK follows a group of lucky singles all living in the United Kingdom who decide to participate in an unconventional social experiment hoping to find love.

Starting off in soundproof pods, the singles try to find their match sight unseen. After making a romantic connection, a couple has the opportunity to propose where they get to see each other for the first time. Following the proposal, the couple then goes on their honeymoon before returning to the real world to prepare for their nuptials. It's when they enter back into the real world that things get serious.
