After much anticipation, Love is Blind is finally coming back for season 2.
It was previously confirmed that the hit reality show would be returning for series two and three, and now the release date for the second series has been announced.
On Thursday 13th January, Netflix revealed the news as they shared the official trailer for season two – and we haven’t got long to go before we meet the new couples and they get to test out whether love is really blind!
When the first series aired on Netflix in 2020, viewers were completely drawn in.
Hosted by celebrity couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the 11 episodes saw blind dating being taken to a whole new level, as 30 singles, splitting up the men and women, communicated with the aim of getting engaged – however, during the dates, the contestants weren’t allowed to see who they were talking to.
While six engaged couples came out of the experiment, just two of them made it down the aisle after their couple retreats, with Lauren and Cameron, and Amber and Matthew still together as of January 2021.
The second series was confirmed all the way back in 2020, so it’s been a while in the making.
So, when does Love Is Blind season start?
Here’s everything you need to know about the new series, including when episodes will drop on the streaming site.
Love is Blind season 2 release date
CONFIRMED: Love is Blind season 2 will arrive on Netflix on Friday 11th February. Episodes will be available to stream from 8am BST.
Shortly after the first season arrived, Netflix renewed the dating show for not just a second season but a third as well!
The streamer announced the season two news in March 2020 in Twitter with a screen grab of Amber from season one.

It’s looking very likely that fans could see a lot more of the wild dating show on Netflix, as the show’s creator Chris Coelen wants 11 more seasons.
Speaking to Oprahmag.com, Coelen said: “I want to see a season 2 or a season 12. Don’t you?” before admitting he could see the show running for 15 or 20 seasons.
The show’s dark horse Rory Newbrough – who was actually left out of filming on the show – has also been revealing some clues about a second series.
During an episode of podcast The LovePod, he told listeners that producers on the show have not only been mentioning their desire for a second season, but have already discussed the possibility of expanding to different cities and potentially other countries too.

Where will Love Is Blind season 2 be filmed?
Series one of the show was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia in the US and Coelen has already confirmed that the infamous pods still remain in the custom-built set where we first met our season one couples.
Could they make a return to their original location?

The couples seemed to be at very different stages of their relationship by the end of episode five.
While Lauren and Cameron, Amber and Barnett and Kenny and Kelly seemed to be going very smoothly, there was a little bit of drama for the other couples.
Initially, Damian didn’t want to tell Giannina why he was happy to “escape” home life, which bothered her.
However, he eventually confided in her and it seems to have brought them closer.
Things weren’t going too well between Jessica and Mark either, as Jessica was struggling to get past her connection with Barnett, who she’d previously been getting to know.
She also removed her engagement ring because she wasn’t sure about their future, however, still wants to give her relationship with Mark a go.
Meanwhile, Carlton and Diamond were the first couple to leave the show way before filming finished in episode four, after an argument made them realise they weren’t right for each other.
Nevertheless, the couple were sent on a romantic trip to Mexico, and then made to test out their relationships in the real world by living together and planning their upcoming nuptials.
Their wedding days finally came in episode 10, but it wasn’t a happy ending for everyone, with only Amber and Barnett and Cameron and Lauren making down the aisle and leaving the show as husband and wife.
