“Love Is Blind” will return for a third, fourth and FIFTH seasons.
The third season was filmed in Houston, TX. and the fourth in Seattle, WA.
In a conversation with E! News, Vanessa dropped the surprising news that a fifth season will start filming this year. She also teased a separate series featuring same-sex pairings in the works.
Vanessa revealed they finished the intro to season four on April 10th. She and her hubby, Nick, will continue to host the series through the fifth season. It’s unclear if any more seasons will come out, given the couple’s ever-increasing list of spin-offs in the works.
One such spin-off is “The Ultimatum.”
The series featured six couples where one partner was ready to get married and the other partner is not.
One partner issues an ultimatum and is given the choice of dating someone else for eight weeks. They then must decide whether they still want to marry their original partner, settle down with their new beau, or move on completely.
Vanessa said, “Every couple that was there, clearly something wasn’t working in their relationships where they felt they needed this.”
