Netflix has two different spin-offs of Love Is Blind releasing on the same day, so I’ve combined them into one entry. There’s the debut of Love Is Blind: France as well as the return of Love Is Blind: Brazil, with the fifth season dubbed ‘It’s Never Too Late’ bringing only contestants who are over 50.

As always, Love Is Blind sees a group of single people put in pods so that the only way for them to communicate is digitally. They have to build connections without ever seeing each other, and the ultimate test is when they’re finally put face-to-face. The contestants are gathered from the region of the show, so this week brings Brazilians and French.

Next up a romantic comedy movie that seems stolen straight from Hallmark, The Wrong Paris stars Miranda Cosgrove and Pierson Fode.

The Wrong Paris is about a woman who signs up for an exotic dating show filmed in Paris. She only discovers too late that, as the title suggests, this is the city in Texas rather than the capital of France. However her attempts to get eliminated from the competition go awry when she finds herself falling for the bachelor at the heart of the show.

Maledictions

We travel back to South America for the final entry in this list: Maledictions is an Argentinian thriller series which releases in its entirety on the same day.

The story is about a kidnap plot which sees the daughter of a governor taken away in the midst of an important law being passed. As the governor negotiates to free his child, secrets from the past are revealed.
