Who is in the cast for season two?

Netflix has unveiled the first images of the 27 new contestants, comprising 13 men and 14 women from various countries in the Arab world. This marks an increase from the 20 participants in season one, which had an equal number of men and women. All 27 contestants, including their names, ages, and nationalities, are detailed in The National's guide to the season two cast.

Who are the hosts for season two?

Breidy and Saidi will take over hosting duties for season two, succeeding the celebrity couple Khaled Saqer and Elham Ali who hosted the first season.

What can we expect from season two?

The series format involves singles getting to know potential partners through conversations in separate pods, where they can communicate but not see each other.

Netflix has indicated that season two will delve into the influence of family and tradition on the participants' choices, as well as the complexities of modern dating.
