Love Is Blind returns this Valentine's Day on Netflix to celebrate its five-year anniversary, this time heading to Minneapolis for season 8. With co-hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey, 32 singles — the show's largest cast yet — will follow the same concept and explore if love is truly blind.
A whole new batch of men and women will date, fall in love, and become engaged before ever meeting in person, just like the other singles who came before them. The participants feature nurses, former cheerleaders, world travelers, and Christmas fanatics aged from 26 to 43. Sagittarius women and Taurus men dominate the zodiac signs this season, as per Tudum by Netflix. Fans will get to know if the opposite does attract.
