'Love Is Blind' Season 11: Everything We Know
More episodes drop this fall—even after the Netflix reality hit has come under heavy scrutiny in recent seasons.
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 whether 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?
Prepare for your cortisol levels to rise this fall. Why? Love Is Blind officially returns Wednesday, October 14. Netflix announced the premiere date just a few weeks before, so you have time to hopefully prepare your mental bandwidth and appointment viewing schedule.
Love Is Blind typically hits streaming in batches, and we already know when episodes are dropping. The show will run through October with a finale in early November (and potentially a reunion shortly after). Here's when season 11 airs:

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.) 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. Some Redditors have even alleged that a Philadelphia-based season was filmed after Boston and Ohio, so it's very possible that could be the next inevitable setting.
For now, though, we'll keep our eyes peeled for any more news regarding the Boston installment as the fall premiere date inches closer.

Who is in the 'Love Is Blind' season 11 cast?
Get ready to meet the singles! Netflix dropped an introduction video featuring the full cast in late September. The cast is almost exclusively in their 30s, besides one 40-year-old man and a man and woman who are both 29. Their jobs range from yacht captain and beekeeper and "master hairstylist" to several in healthcare and tech, among other roles, and there's at least one single parent in the mix.
In the video, the cast had a chance to share what they're looking for, what gives them the ick, and their complaints about the Boston dating scene (men being noncommittal and inconsistent; it feeling too small or hard to meet people because you run into the same faces everywhere). At first glance, it seems like a more mature slate—with perhaps a few who might have strong opinions or dealbreakers—but we'll have to wait until we can fully meet the Pod Squad to know for sure.
Netflix hasn't shared too many details about the season 11 stars...but they may not all be from Boston proper. Some fans on Reddit have alleged that viewers shouldn't expect only contestants hailing from Beantown. According to several posts, the casting call was for all of New England, so some of the singles may be from Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, as well. That would, inevitably, lead to some potential long-distance drama, but it's too early to tell if they went the New England route.
Is there a trailer for 'Love Is Blind' season 11?
Netflix has shared the official season 11 trailer, and it features all the makings of a memorable installment: lots of tears in the pods, early exchanges of "I love you," Someone saying, "I just wanted it to be more like what we were in the pods," and even what looks like a shocking breakup. As is typical, it seems things start going awry once the handful of couples set out on vacation; there is even a shot of one man announcing to the group, "Newsflash: no one knew each other a month ago. Wake up, boys!" Oh, and, inevitably, we're in for a fair share of heavy Boston accents. So, take a deep breath, and get ready for more chaos.
