Love is Blind season 3: Netflix UK release date of reality show, cast - who are hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey

Another instalment of reality TV dating show Love is Blind has arrived on Netflix, and will see a new group of singletons enter the pods looking for a life partner. Love is Blind first launched on Netflix in 2020, leading to four couples getting hitched - two couples tied the knot in season two - and there will be plenty of love in the air in the latest instalment.

What is Love is Blind about?

Love is Blind begins with the contestants meeting each other through pods, meaning that they can talk to each other, but they don’t know what the person they are chatting to looks like.

The meetings take place in a speed dating format over 10 days, giving the singletons the opportunity to get to know each other - and couples can choose to have longer dates, still in their pods. If the pairs form a connection through their pods, a proposal takes place and - if accepted - the new lovebirds get to meet face to face.

When enough engaged couples have formed, they will head off to a retreat at a luxury resort. This will give the pairings their first opportunity to be intimate with each other, and to meet the other couples face to face.

After the retreat the couples will move into a shared apartment in Dallas where they will meet their other half’s friends and family and find out more about who they are engaged to. They will then plan their weddings for four weeks time - the women will go off as a group to try on wedding dresses, while the men will pick out their suits. Finally, as their wedding day comes, both partners will have to decide whether to go through with it, or instead stay single.
