‘Love Is Blind’ Season 5: The Cast Revealed & Everything We Know So Far

Love Is Blind will return for season 5 sooner than you think. This September, Love Is Blind will kick off a whole new season as fall TV officially gets underway. After months of waiting, the official season 5 trailer and the cast have been unveiled. Across 10 episodes, the Love Is Blind singles will embark on journeys of romance and self-discovery.

In the season 5 trailer, the new singles open up their hearts and discuss their pasts. There will be proposals and weddings aplenty, as well as drama. “She planned for us to both be here because she couldn’t let me go,” cast member Uche says in the trailer.

Love Is Blind season 4 proved that people can truly fall in love without ever seeing each other — but that doesn’t mean things will work out. The show followed five couples who got engaged after dating in individual “pods” without being able to see each other. By the finale episode, three original couples were engaged, and a new one had formed. At the end of it all, Love Is Blind viewers watched Tiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown, Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah, and Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi say, “I do,” at the altar, while Micah Lussier and Paul Peden went their separate ways.

The entire season was filled with sweet moments but also had its fair share of tortuous and awkward scenes. The reunion episode included all of those moments as well — including a painful 90-minute delay due to Netflix being unable to handle the influx of users for the live-streamed event. On the bright side, so many people logged on that Netflix is keeping the Love Is Blind train running at full speed. Read on to learn all there is to know about season 5 of Love Is Blind.

Where Was Season 5 Of Love Is Blind Filmed?

Love Is Blind is taking over The Bayou City. Love Is Blind season 5 was filmed in Houston, Texas. Past seasons were filmed in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and Seattle.

A casting producer for Love Is Blind named Mary Myers posted a casting call (seen here) on her Instagram page in 2022, which revealed the show was looking for singles searching for their perfect match in Washington, D.C., Charlotte, North Carolina, Detroit, Michigan, and Tampa, Florida. Perhaps future seasons of the show will head to those cities.

What Has Been Revealed About Love Is Blind Season 5?

The official synopsis for season 5 reads: “The fifth season of the cultural hit reality series returns with a new group of Houston singles ready to hit the pods and find love. As the experiment continues to expand, each participant’s individual journey, emotional growth, and ability to embrace a new approach to dating is key — whether they find love outwardly or within. In the most shocking season yet, the singles face new challenges, unexpected twists, and surprising turns that will test their personal resolve, and the strength of their connections, more than ever before. Even if the couples can forge a strong enough bond to get engaged sight unseen, can their love survive the challenges waiting for them in the outside world — including protective families, skeptical friends, and the exes they thought they’d left behind?”

In his chat with Women’s Health, Nick confirmed that fans will continue to see diverse couples. “There is quite a bit of diversity in the casting,” he noted. “Speaking as someone who’s there [sic] from day one, and sees all the people that are there from day one, I do think that they’ve [the casting directors] done a good job of trying to cast diversely and will continue to. You’ll see that in season three and four and five.”
