What is Netflix's 'Love is Blind' show about?
The immensely popular dating show centers around singles who "want to be loved for who they are," as Netflix says. Contestants sign up for a "less conventional approach to modern dating" as they choose someone to marry without ever seeing them.
Over the course of the show, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and "find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the pods," the show's page reads.
Each season is set in a different city, so contestants won't have the added pressure of deciding where to relocate. Here's where each season has taken place:
Season 1: Atlanta, Georgia
Season 2: Chicago, Illinois
Season 3: Dallas, Texas
Season 4: Seattle, Washington
Season 5: Houston, Texas
Season 6: Charlotte, North Carolina
