If you’re looking for a new way to meet someone this year, Netflix is here for you. Love is Blind is a dating reality series. The Netflix series is produced by Kinetic Content and created by Chris Coelen. The series first premiered on Netflix on February 13, 2020, as part of a three-week event series. The series is compared to Married at First Sight, which is also produced by Kinetic Content, and The Bachelor. 10-episodes were released and a reunion special, which was released on Netflix and YouTube on March 5th.
‘Love is Blind’ is a series where singles “Date” and engage without ever actually seeing each other in person. Once they pop the question, they meet, go on a tropical getaway, move in together and -if everything goes well, get married. Casting directors are looking for people to audition to be a part of the new season of Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind’. All you’re required to do is fill out a 46-question application, which covers everything including physical appearance, education, religion, and sexuality.
There are several matchmaking questions including, “Are you open to dating someone who is divorced and/or has children,” “What are your deal breakers?” and “Where are you currently meeting potential mates?” Applicants must be 21 and over and are required to upload photos of themselves to be considered.

About ‘Love is Blind’:
On February 28, the day after the finale aired, Love Is Blind became Netflix’s number-one trending series coming just days after Netflix launched its new trending top ten lists on their application on February 24. Tricia Crimmins of Mashable reviewed the first five episodes of Love Is Blind following their original release on February 13.
Comparing it to The Bachelor, Crimmins called the series “the bizarre reality TV experiment you’ve been craving”. She says that you never know what the couples will do next, even down to the altar at the wedding, making the series “harmless, entertaining, and satisfying.” Lucy Mangan of The Guardian gave Love Is Blind a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, calling it toxic, revolting, but extremely addictive. She says that Love Is Blind is the final nail in the coffin of humanity; however, in terms of reality television, she declares that it is good because it “exploits emotional frailties, profaning the sacred, making the private and precious public and worthless and turning it into voyeuristic ratings-bait.” Notwithstanding all of this, she recommends the show as an unexpected reality television binge, similar to The Bachelor.
On March 24, 2020, Love Is Blind was renewed for a second and third season. Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia, from October 9, 2018, and remained 38 days up until the weddings. The couples met face-to-face on October 19. The ten days in the pods were shot at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayetteville. Then, after the newly engaged couples left the pods, filming took place at the Grand Velas Riviera Maya in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, when all the couples went on a retreat. The relationships that made it through the retreat in Mexico move in together in an apartment complex. After the retreat, the couples headed back to Atlanta to the Spectrum on Spring apartment building, where they spent the rest of the time filming up until the weddings. The weddings took place at two event spaces called Flourish Atlanta and The Estate on November 15.
Netflix renewed Love is Blind for a second and third season on March 24, 2020.
How does the show work?
The series follows thirty men and women looking for love. For 10 days, the men and women speed date each other in different “pods” where they can talk, but not see each other. Whenever they decide, the men are given the chance to propose to the women they want to marry. After the proposal, the couples meet face to face for the first time, the engaged couples go on a couples retreat in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. During the trip, they spend time getting to know their parents and meeting the other couples involved.
Following the couples retreat, the engaged couples move to the same apartment complex in Atlanta. While at the apartments, they all meet their partners’ families and explore their partners’ living conditions. On the day of the wedding, the engaged couples have a wedding ceremony and make their final decision if they want to stay together or split up, answering the question, “Is love blind?”

Everything We Know About ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 3
It’s no surprise that the third season of Love Is Blind is already scheduled to premiere on Netflix. But, what may come as a shock to fans is that the reality dating show could be returning sooner than anticipated.
“We shot season 3 already,” Co-host Vanessa Lachey told ET in September while at the Emmy Awards with her husband and co-host, Nick Lachey.
After the second season of Married at First Sight, three couples got married: Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones, and Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson.
The second season concluded in mid-June with a reunion special, during which contestant Kyle Abrams revealed his feelings for co-star Deepti Vempati, despite having chosen Shaina Hurley in the pods. Since then, they’ve been seen together multiple times and have continued to banter back and forth on social media, engendering fan interest in their potential love story.
There are no spoilers yet about what will happen in the new season, but based on the show’s history, there is sure to be plenty of drama and excitement as singles date, get engaged, and eventually tie the knot. In the meantime, here’s everything we know so far about Love Is Blind Season 3.
With all of this romantic success from the series, it’s no surprise that fans are eager for a third season.
In addition to Vanessa informing ET that season 3 has already been shot, show creator Chris Coelen also confirmed that filming had ended in February.
“Every season is unique. Season 3 is a very different being than either season 1 or season 2,” he shared.
Premiere Date
Season 3 of “Daredevil” will most likely premiere within the next year, according to Variety, which says it was recorded directly following season 2, which wrapped in spring 2021.
Location
According to Variety, season 3 will be shot in Dallas, Texas, which has learned that it will include couples from Chicago (as in season 2) and couples from Atlanta (as in season 1).
Season 3 will see male and female would-be daters seeking love.
In season 1, Carlton Morton announced his bisexuality after getting engaged to Diamond Jack, which resulted in their breakup. There were no openly bisexual cast members in Season 2.
The third season will see 15 men and 15 women compete for each other’s love once more. However, the show’s creator has suggested that a sexually fluid season is possible in the future.
“I love to tell stories. All kinds of people have all kinds of interesting stories. To be able to tell as many different kinds of stories as we can, I think is great and something to aspire to,” Coelen told Variety. “If there was a fluid version, everyone would have to be completely isolated from everyone else because everyone would be an option. Is that something that we could do? In its current form, I think it’s difficult because of the way that everything is structured. You wouldn’t be hanging out in the lounges with people because those people could be possible love interests for you. So certainly, I’ve thought about it, and what I will tease you with is that we want to be representative in all kinds of ways and we are figuring out ways to do that.”
What fans may see
The unexpected, of course! Nick Lachey revealed the challenges the contestants face in pods when he was interviewed by ET in February.
“They’re going through an emotional kind of washing machine,” he told ET. “They’re just getting tumbled, tumbled, tumbled, and hopefully for some — I can’t reveal too much — hopefully for some, that results in some clean laundry at the end of the day, and for others, maybe they’re still in the spin cycle… It’s a wild ride, and for Vanessa and me, we’re right there at the edge of our seats with everybody else. It’s fascinating to watch it happen.”
Love Is Blind is now available on Netflix. Season 1 and 2 of Love Is Blind are now streaming.
