Editor’s note: “Love is Blind” Season 9 spoilers ahead!
Season 9 of “Love is Blind” is inching towards its conclusion and the five couples who left the pods engaged are working their way towards a happily ever after, though it remains to be seen if the connections they made in the pods will last beyond it.
The latest season of the popular reality dating show follows the formula that earned it an Emmy nomination: the group of singles enter pods where they go on “dates” with each other, with a catch: they don’t know what each other looks like. Contestants form bonds and make compatibility decisions while chatting through a wall, eventually getting engaged before meeting face-to-face for the first time.
“When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with?” the series synopsis says.
Here’s how and when to catch new episodes of “Love Is Blind” Season 9.
