NEED TO KNOW

• Love Is Blind season 9 will feature 32 contestants hoping to blindly fall in love and get married

A new group of single contestants are ready to find their forever on Love Is Blind!

Season 9 of the hit Netflix show, which is hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, will premiere on Oct. 1 and introduce 32 men and women hoping to find their soulmate.

The contestants range in age from 27 to 41 and work in a variety of careers — including nursing, marketing, finance, accounting and more. As the season plays out, several couples fall in love in the pods and get engaged before testing their relationships on the outside during a romantic vacation and later living together.

Similar to other seasons, the season 9 trailer shows the couples battling various obstacles, from different lifestyles to trust issues. To capture the ups and downs of all the couples, Netflix releases the episodes in batches until the ultimate finale wedding decision episode and reunion.

In true Love Is Blind fashion, the dramatic trailer teases that it won’t be smooth sailing for all the couples and that some of them may feel “blindsided.” One of the final clips shows a woman getting ready for her wedding while declaring, “At the altar, the truth will come out.”
