Netflix has greenlit two new unscripted dating shows, Variety has learned exclusively.

The new series further bolster Netflix’s lineup in the romance genre, following the success of breakout hits ‘Love Is Blind” and “Too Hot To Handle.”

Indian Matchmaking,” which will debut on July 16, centers around couples paired by an elite Indian matchmaker. “Love on the Spectrum,” premiering July 22, focuses on young adults on the autism spectrum exploring the dating world.

Unlike “Love Is Blind” and “Too Hot To Handle,” both new shows are serialized, docuseries style formats that will follow several characters’ stories over the course of the season.

“Indian Matchmaking” and “Love on the Spectrum” will create a jam-packed summer of romance for Netflix, which just last week announced a new wedding show, “Say I Do,” from the creators of “Queer Eye,” which premieres on July 1. Earlier this month, the streaming giant launched the second season of “Dating Around,” which was Netflix’s first original dating show.
