Get ready, Minneapolis! The popular Netflix dating show “Love Is Blind” is heading to the Twin Cities for its highly anticipated Season 8, set to premiere on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2025. After much speculation—and a casting call posted in 2023—the show’s co-hosts, Nick and Vanessa Lachey, confirmed the exciting news during a “Love Is Blind” Season 7 reunion special.

With its unique format and the chance to explore deep emotional connections, “Love Is Blind” has become one of Netflix’s most popular reality shows. In the show, singles date through “pods,” where they can’t see each other but can communicate freely, forming emotional connections without the influence of physical attraction. The ultimate test? Getting engaged before meeting in person. Once couples are engaged, they finally meet face-to-face, and the show follows them as they navigate the path toward marriage (or not). Season 8 will dive into these relationships, all while showcasing Minneapolis as the backdrop.

A Peek at the Season 8 Singles

As part of the reunion special, viewers got an exclusive look at a few singles from the upcoming season. One participant revealed, “It’s such a small community. You kind of see the same people over and over. I just never found the right person that clicked for me.” This adds an intriguing personal touch to what’s already shaping up to be an unforgettable season.
