The popular reality show Love Is Blind is set to return for its eighth season, premiering on February 14, 2025, on Netflix. The show features a unique twist on dating, as it follows a group of single contestants who form connections in pods without seeing each other. This process could lead to engagements before the contestants meet face-to-face and potentially even marriage. Netflix has announced that the new season will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Before the highly anticipated release of the upcoming season, the streaming platform announced the new group of singles who will be participating. The diverse cast includes real estate brokers, a hairstylist, a wine bar owner, and others. During the season 7 reunion, three contestants from season 8—Alex, Brittany, and Joey—were introduced, giving fans an early glimpse of what to expect.
Nick and Vanessa Lachey are set to return as hosts for this season and guide the contestants in the hope of meeting their soulmate in this unique social dating experiment.
