The ‘Love is Blind’ Season 3 Cast: Your Guide – Marie Claire


After eight short months (and a slightly messy After the Altar special), Love Is Blind is back! The third season of Netflix’s reality-hit-slash-social-experiment just landed on the streamer, having been filmed immediately after season 2 of Love Is Blind. This time, 30 singles from the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area are entering the pods hopeful and looking for love (not knowing that the show’s odds are…not the best).
