Everything To Know About Love Is Blind Season 3

After an agonizing two-year wait, Love Is Blind finally returned for its second season in February. The lengthy turnaround time was largely due to the coronavirus pandemic, which delayed filming for a year. But luckily, fans of the hit reality dating series won’t have to wait quite as long for more episodes: Not only has Netflix renewed Love Is Blind for Season 3, it’s already been filmed — and thanks to a newly announced release date, we know it’s coming very soon.

In the meantime, Love Is Blind Season 2 is still providing plenty of drama — including the recent splits of two couples. Creator Chris Coelen seemed to address the show’s success rate in a new interview with Netflix announcing Season 3. “I don’t personally measure the success of the show based on whether people stay together or don’t stay together,” he explained. “From a producer standpoint, from a story standpoint, I don’t want [the participants] to think at all about the show.”

Coelen teased what makes the Love Is Blind Season 3 cast unique in the interview, too. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming installment so far.

The Love Is Blind Season 3 Premiere Date

Love Is Blind Season 3 will have 12 episodes, the first four of which will release on Wednesday, Oct. 19. The remaining episodes will debut on subsequent Wednesdays — three on Oct. 26, three on Nov. 2, and the final two (weddings and reunion) on Nov. 9.

The Love Is Blind Season 3 Filming Location

Season 1 of Love Is Blind was filmed in Atlanta, while Season 2 traveled north to Chicago. Season 3 is set in Dallas, Texas.

The Love Is Blind Season 3 Trailer

On Oct. 6, Netflix released the official Love Is Blind Season 3 trailer — in which we see several proposals, family drama, and one contestant suggesting “we should just swap fiancées.”

The Love Is Blind Season 3 Cast

Netflix revealed the Love Is Blind Season 3 cast on Oct. 5. The new Pod Squad features 30 new singles based in Dallas.

Earlier this year, Coelen teased what we can expect from the group. “These people are all in,” he told Netflix. “They’re dynamic, fun, fascinating, layered and vibrant. They’re truly committed to trying to go on a journey that’s going to find them love based on the noblest of reasons: who they are on the inside, and falling in love with someone for who they are.”

In the past, the show has received criticism for failing to cast a broader range of sizes and ethnicities — something Coelen addressed in a February interview with the Los Angeles Times. “Both Season 1 and Season 2, we really tried to have a diverse pool of participants in every sense of what that word means — whether it’s experience or body type or ethnicity or whatever. There’s only so many people that we showed,” he explained. “It’s certainly not like we said, ‘Let’s stack the deck.’ No, we had every kind of person that we could find come into this environment, and everybody had an equal opportunity. We don’t steer or control any of it. We just set up the mechanism and help move them around, depending on who they want to spend time with.”
