Netflix will be pioneering the movement with Sexy Beasts, a dating show which says "goodbye to superficial dating" and hello to rather disturbing prosthetic masks.

A group of hopefuls hailing from all over the world will be sporting these while they go on blind dates and test out their chemistry – without ever seeing the other's face.

Take a look at the trailer to see the sort of shenanigans you can expect:

Perhaps the strangest thing about the series, which is expected to land on the streamer in July, is that it's a reboot. A similar show originally aired in BBC Three back in 2014.

Oh, and it's also narrated by Catastrophe's Rob Delaney.

With so many dating shows making a comeback this summer, including Love Island and Netflix hit Too Hot To Handle, Sexy Beasts promises to put a spin on the beloved format.

Judging by the success of The Masked Singer, it could quickly become the dating show to beat.
