Sit back, relax and prepare those Golden Goblets: more Love Is Blind is headed your way!
Netflix just renewed the popular series for a sixth and seventh season — and announced that new episodes are coming sooner rather than later.
The hit reality dating show will head to Charlotte, North Carolina for season 6, which — fittingly — is coming to Netflix on Valentine's Day, the streamer announced on Tuesday.
No one is more excited than co-hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey, who shared the news in a new teaser clip, playfully teasing that they are preparing for contestants to return to the pods.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing?" Nick asks in the clip after cameras enter the pods as he's holding a drill and Vanessa displays paint swatches. "We're not ready for you yet. We haven't even finished installing the pod walls!"
Vanessa then chimes in: "Look, I know you're excited to find love in the pods but we need a little more time, OK? They have to be ready. Go away, we'll see ya!"
Love Is Blind is one of Netflix’s most popular series, with all five seasons ranking in its global Top 10, per the streamer.
Season 5 was a rollercoaster, and it ended with a bang — and a reunion episode brimming with drama.
One of the buzziest moments from the season was Milton Johnson and Lydia Velez Gonzalez's relationship — namely the time Lydia revealed that she had previously dated fellow participant Uche Okoroha outside of the pods.
After the bombshell reveal, the drama continued when Uche — who had been connecting with Lydia's show bestie, Aaliyah Cosby — returned for the cast mixer and alleged that Lydia stalked him after their breakup and followed him onto the series.
Despite this, Milton and Lydia were able to overcome the challenges and were the only couple to say "I do." During the October reunion episode, they revealed that they were still happily married almost a year and a half after the finale aired.
"I think in the past, before I met Lydia... I would typically stay at work too late. Now, 5:30 hits and I'm like, 'Hey, I gotta get home to my wife,'" Milton told Nick and Vanessa at the time. "A few years ago, I could've never imagined feeling this way, being this way. It's beautiful."
Taylor Rue and Jared “JP” Pierce’s relationship also made for some memorable moments. In particular, their emotional confrontation days into their Mexico trip left fans stunned.
After Taylor confronted her then-fiancé about feeling disconnected from him on the vacation, he revealed that he'd felt uncomfortable with her physical appearance and use of makeup the first time they saw each other in person.
"It felt like you were fake. You had a caked-up face, fake eyelashes ... you presented fake stuff,” JP said, adding that “that's not really” what he wants.
Taylor ended their relationship the next morning, later telling PEOPLE, "I was like, 'This is it. I have that feeling in my heart, and I don't want to go through with it.'"

Other big moments came from Christopher “Chris” Fox and Johnie Maraist, as well as Izzy Zapata and Stacy Snyder.
Chris and Johnie appeared to find a happy ending together after leaving the pods, but ultimately called it quits after Chris cheated, Johnie revealed during the reunion episode.
Meanwhile, Stacy and Izzy, who were the other couple to make it to their wedding day, faced an up-and-down journey from loyal fiancés, to bitter exes, to now friends after Stacy said no to Izzy at the altar. Ultimately, Stacy found it difficult to move past Izzy's financial situation, poor credit score, and the "messy" way he lived, which left Izzy to feel "blindsided" at the altar on their wedding day.
