Netflix’s widely popular dating experiment is back, and this time, the pods are opening in Minnesota. Love Is Blind season 8 is set to deliver another round of blind courtships and dramatic reveals as singles attempt to form lasting connections — without seeing each other first. Hosted once again by Vanessa and Nick Lachey, the new season features the show’s largest cast yet, with 32 hopeful romantics stepping into the pods for a chance at love.
Netflix unveiled the full lineup of new contestants on January 31. Fans may recognise three of them — Alex, Brittany, and Joey — from the Love Is Blind Season 7 reunion, where they were briefly introduced as part of the upcoming season’s cast.

The trailer teased everything we’ve come to expect from the franchise, including deep connections, shocking betrayals, and, of course, a few dramatic 'I do's (or 'I don’t's) at the altar. Only two couples made it down the aisle in season 7 — will the Minnesota group fare any better? We’ll have to watch and see.
