Let's not mince words: Love Is Blind season 10 was rough. While less-than-invested couplings and jaw-dropping villain arcs took center stage, all of the biggest romantic developments happened off-screen. By the end of the season, many viewers were left doubting whether Netflix's reality TV juggernaut—where participants date through a wall in a "social experiment" to see if love really is blind—would ever recapture the authenticity of its earlier seasons.

Despite criticism that LIB has run its course, the production timeline on the Netflix series means that new episodes were in the works long before season 10 arrived on our screens. Read on for everything we know about Love Is Blind season 11 so far.

Has 'Love Is Blind' been renewed for season 11?

If you were starting to feel a sense of relief that you might be free from Love Is Blind—or worried that your guilty-pleasure viewing wouldn't return—Netflix finally confirmed the show's fate in mid-May 2026. Love Is Blind season 11 has (of course) been renewed by the streamer, which it announced during its upfront presentation to advertisers.

The renewal came nearly two months after season 10 wrapped in March 2026. However, as the latest episodes aired, rumors were already swirling that filming on season 11 had begun—meaning, a renewal was imminent.

Netflix has not indicated if season 11 will be the final installment of its long-running dating show, although it's worth noting that LIB is typically renewed in batches. For example, Netflix renewed the reality hit for seasons 9 and 10 in January 2025...nearly a year after the show was spotted filming in Denver in March 2024. We'll have to wait and see if the streaming service is closing down the pods in the long term—but, for now, we know season 11 is coming.

When will 'Love Is Blind' season 11 come out?

Mark your calendar for fall 2026. When Love Is Blind season 11 was confirmed, Netflix also took to social media to unveil the tentative release date.

If you're a longtime viewer, by now, you're likely aware that the show's twice-yearly release schedule has become a staple. For the past four years, Netflix has released one season in the winter/spring (typically as close to Valentine's Day as possible) and another around the last week of September or the first of October. Fans should likely expect an official premiere date announcement around the end of summer.

Where is the 'Love Is Blind' season 11 location?

After season 10's confusing switch from a specific metropolitan area to the entire state of Ohio, season 11 is honing in on one wicked city: Boston. Even before Beantown was officially announced, it had been a top fan theory for the location, since reporters and internet sleuths spotted the show filming there way back in March 2025. (This happens to be around the same time season 10 was filmed.) While none of the cast has been formally announced, one can only begin to imagine the range of personalities hailing from the New England city.

Though nothing is confirmed past season 11, casting notices for the series have previously gone out in several other locations, including Detroit, Michigan; Miami and Tampa, Florida; Nashville, Tennessee; Phoenix, Arizona; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Charleston, South Carolina.

For now, though, we'll keep our eyes peeled for any more news regarding the Boston installment as the fall premiere date inches closer.
