When is Netflix dating show Sexy Beasts being released in the UK?

Netflix is releasing a new dating series that sees singletons get to know each other while wearing elaborate prosthetic masks to disguise their appearances.

In Sexy Beasts, viewers will see a Panda, with the body of a woman, tell a guy that she wants to "get married" and "have babies" before she turns 26, before asking her date if he has health insurance.

The new show, which has been described as " The Masked Singer meets Love Is Blind", features a group of single people wearing both hilarious - and borderline horrifying - masks.

Sexy Beasts’ aim is for the contestants to fall in love based on personality alone.

In the recently released trailer, a contestant is seen asking: "What if I pick you and I’m not what you expect underneath?"

Daters are transformed into beasts, using not only masks but mind-boggling prosthetics prepared by Hollywood pro makeup artists, giving the participants a particularly bizarre appearance.

Sexy Beasts contestants are then invited on a blind date before having to make a choice, and remove their mask.

Here's everything you need to know:

When does Sexy Beasts start on Netflix?

The first season is set to drop on the streaming platform on Wednesday 21 July.

The series will have six half-hour episodes and will be narrated by American comedian, Rob Delaney.

And, for those who are already convinced by the new dating show, Sexy Beasts will be back with its second season in the near future.

The streaming platform said: "Hoping to say goodbye to superficial dating, real-life singles sport elaborate makeup and prosthetics to put true blind-date chemistry to the test."

Once a "sexy beast" has participated in several blind dates and fun activities, including axe throwing and going to an amusement park, they get the opportunity to choose who they want to pursue - based on personality alone.

On each episode, a contestant will go on three different blind dates before picking one person at the end: the ultimate person they want to continue dating.
