There's no denying that a new Love Is Blind season is a cultural event. The Netflix reality series—which, if you've been living under a rock, follows several couples as they get engaged sight unseen and decide whether to get married within a month—reached the peak of its notoriety with the release of season 4, which took over the Internet last spring, between its steady stream of social media discourse and semi-live reunion. Since the fourth season concluded last April, past contestants have accused the production company behind the show of gross mistreatment, spawning another round of discussion for whether viewers should support the show. (Kinetic Connect refuted the claims in a subsequent statement.) However, the announcement of season 4 After the Altar and season 5 has confirmed it: Love Is Blind isn't going everywhere, and we're all (enthusiastically or not) along for the ride.
In fact, the streaming giant is doubling down on their reality hit, with both After the Altar and season 5 arriving with the shortest break in between seasons yet. (Though part of that may have to do with the ongoing writers' and actors' strikes.) As details are gradually released over the next month, TV fans will have to prepare ourselves for LIB to take over our TikTok and Twitter (or X, I guess) feeds once again. Below, we're keeping track of everything we learn.
