Lebanon Is Back in the Pods: Meet the Lebanese Singles on Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2

Six singles, plenty of pod drama, and awkward moments await. Here’s who’s repping Lebanon on Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2!

Clear your evenings, silence the family WhatsApp group, and prepare your hot takes: Love Is Blind Habibi Season 2 lands on Netflix on November 12, 2026, and Lebanon has six singles in the pods and a Lebanese host on the couch.

The hosts: a Lebanese-Tunisian love story

Season 2 comes with a new couple on hosting duty. Lebanese TV presenter Wissam Breidy and Tunisian model and actress Rym Saidi take over from Season 1 hosts Elham Ali and Khaled Saqer. It’s a fitting handover. Wissam and Rym met on Dancing with the Stars and married in Milan in 2017.

Meet the Lebanese men

Omar Abdel Hadi, Account Manager

Omar’s day job is keeping clients happy and closing deals. He’s probably used to the pressure and will find selling himself in those pods to be a breeze.

Ziad Moghrabi, Head of HR, Luxury Fashion

Ziad has built a career on deciding who’s the right fit. We’ll be watching to see if he runs the pods like an interview panel.

Talal Al Hallaby, Car Dealer

Talal sells cars for a living, so he knows how to spot something worth committing to. His bio sums him up as born in the UAE, made in Venezuela, so we’re not sure how in-tuned to his Lebanese roots.

Meet the Lebanese women

Rita Chamaa, Project Manager at LVMH

Rita has managed projects for the world’s biggest luxury group so planning a quick wedding should be no prob.

Zeinab Shaaban, Entrepreneur, Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer

Business owner, dietitian and PT. We wonder if she’ll ask about your protein intake.

Rabab Ahmad, UN Migration Consultant

Her career says thoughtful, worldly and serious, so whoever ends up on the other side had better bring more than small talk.

What happened last season?

Season 1 of Love Is Blind Habibi, which aired in October 2024, brought together singles from across the Arab world, Lebanon included, and became one of the most-discussed shows in the region. Three couples got engaged, but only Safa and Mohammed made it down the aisle (and they have a baby!).
