Valentine’s Day is a few short weeks away and it’s unsurprising that Netflix is dipping its toes back into the dating scene. A year on from the first series Dating Around, Netflix will be hoping to find even more popularity with Love Is Blind.  Below is everything we know about the reality dating Original series Love Is Blind.

Love is Blind is an upcoming Netflix Original reality dating-show produced by Kinetic Content. Upon release, Love Is Blind will be the third dating series released under the Original banner. With networks such as MTV, ABC and Lifetime finding huge success with reality dating shows, it comes at no surprise that Netflix continues to wade into the ever-growing ocean that is reality tv.

What is Love Is Blind?

For anyone who has seen the reality series Blind Date or Married at First Sight will know how a series like this will work.

Rather than hiding three contestants behind a screen, two lucky singles will go on dates but will not be able to see each other until the pair are engaged. Once engaged, the blindfolds come off and they will see who their new beau is for the first time. The cameras will then follow the couple as they try to match a physical relationship to the emotional bond they’ve formed all the way to mere days before they are due to be wed.

The concept is very similar to Married at First Sight, the popular Lifetime reality series. A major difference between the two series is the fact that Love Is Blind doesn’t have the couple marry before meeting each other, giving the couples the option to back out of the series before tieing the knot.

Who’s hosting the series?

Nick and Vanessa Lachey will be the hosts of the Love Is Blind. The pair have been married since 2011, and each has had great success in their own respective careers.

Vanessa Lachey found success at a young age after being named Miss Teen USA in 1998. Throughout her career, Vanessa has worked as a fashion model, beauty queen, tv personality, actress and most recently a television host. Many will recognize her for work on Entertainment Tonight and the host of Total Request Live on MTV.

Better known in the US, Nick Lachey was apart of the multiple platinum-selling boy-band 98 Degrees. He was famously married to Jessica Simpson between 2002 and 2006 and starred in the reality series Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.

When is the Netflix release date?

It has been confirmed that Love Is Blind will be coming to Netflix on February 13th, 2020!

How many episodes will Love Is Blind feature?

The first episode will have a total of ten episodes. As the series has been confirmed for serialization, this means that episodes will be released weekly rather than all at once.

It’s unclear how long each episode will run, but we’d imagine that episodes will have an approximate run time of 45 to 60 minutes.

Has Netflix released a trailer for Love Is Blind?

We’re still waiting on a trailer for Love Is Blind but expect to see something soon!

Netflix Orders ‘Love Is Blind’ Reality Dating Series Hosted By Nick & Vanessa Lachey From ‘Married At First Sight’ Producer

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is expanding its unscripted slate with a 10-episode order to Love is Blind, its first serialized unscripted dating series, hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey. The show, from Married at First Sight producer Kinetic Content, will premiere globally over three weeks beginning February 13, tied to the Valentine’s Day holiday.

Love Is Blind looks at whether looks or age do matter in romantic relationships, or if love is really blind.

Hosted by the Lacheys, in the series, singles who want to be loved for who they are, rather than what they look like, have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating where they hope to meet the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with…without ever having seen them.

With no distractions from the outside world, the singles talk to a stream of potential love interests and when a meaningful connection is made, they propose and then lay their eyes on their fiancé for the first time. Engaged and back in the real world, as the couples plan their wedding day, they will quickly discover whether they can turn their emotional connection into a physical one before the fast-approaching ceremony.

Kinetic Content’s Chris Coelen, Sam Dean, Ally Simpson, Eric Detwiler, Brian Smith executive produce.

The concept of Love Is Blind is somewhat reminiscent of Kinetic Content’s social experiment hit Married at First Sight, Lifetime’s top series for the past two years, which was recently renewed for two more supersized seasons. Kinetic, a Red Arrow Studios company, is behind the top 3 shows on Lifetime, MAFS, Little Women Atlanta, andLittle Women LA.

The premiere of Love Is Blind comes a year after Netflix ventured into the dating reality show arena with Dating Around. The six-episode series, which debuted February 14, 2019, featured a single who goes on five blind first dates and is then tasked with picking one match who’s worthy of a second date.
