Love Is Blind is a reality television series on Netflix created by Chris Coelen.[1] It originated in the United States and has been reproduced in eleven countries around the world including Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Argentina, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates. Love Is Blind: Italy is currently in production.[2] Love is Blind: France is announced to launch in 2025.[3]

Of the 115 couples formed across the different spin-offs of this show, 45 have said 'I do' at the altar. As of August 2025, 26 of these couples are still together. This gives the show and its engaged matches a 39% success rate with respect to getting married and a 55% chance of staying together after that.

Format

The series follows an equal number of men and women hoping to find love. For 10 days, the men and women date each other in purpose-built "pods", small rooms where they can talk to each other by speaker but not see each other, except through a blue translucent barrier that allows no visual detail.[4][5] The cast members are initially paired in a speed-dating format, but later can choose to have longer dates.[6] The daters may extend a marriage proposal whenever they feel ready.[a] A couple meets face-to-face only after a marriage proposal is accepted. The engaged couples then head to a couples' retreat at a resort for one week.[7] During this trip, they spend time getting to know each other and have their first opportunity to be physically intimate. They also meet the other couples participating in the experiment.[8][9] This format of choosing among suitors without being able to see them has been compared to The Dating Game.[10][11][12]

After the couples' retreat, the engaged couples move together into an apartment complex where they live for the final three weeks of the experiment.[7] At the apartments, they meet their partners' friends and families and learn more about their partners' lives, exploring issues such as finances, recreation, personal habits, and their ultimate primary residence. They also plan weddings to be held at the end of four weeks. During this wedding planning period, the women go wedding dress shopping and the men go suit shopping together, bringing a few friends or family members along. They also make choices such as the design and flavor of their wedding cake. At the altar, each participant decides whether to say "I do" and get legally married.

Each season also has a reunion special released after the final episode.
