Love is Blind returned for its sixth season earlier this year and has already been given a thumbs up for season 7 but will continue beyond that with production underway on two new seasons: season 8 and season 9.
Why is Netflix already renewing Love is Blind so far out? It’s become a powerhouse for Netflix in the reality genre. Season 6, in particular, recently surpassed expectations, pulling in mega viewing hours compared to prior seasons.
Here’s a look at the global hours watched for seasons 3 through 6 of Love is Blind:
| Week | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24,890,000 | 25,520,000 | 11,900,000 | 39,500,000 |
| 2 | 42,070,000 | 47,640,000 | 36,200,000 | 67,000,000 |

| 5 | 19,310,000 | 39,480,000 | 20,400,000 | 45,600,000 |
Love is Blind is also experiencing massive international expansion. The most recent iteration, Love is Blind: UK, debuted this summer, and reviews for that particular version have been glowing. As we have already reported, casting has already begun for season 2, and production is underway.
Love Is Blind: Sweden has also been renewed for a season 2, with Love Is Blind: Mexico currently ongoing with its first season. Spin-offs for Argentina and Germany are expected to land this year, with a Habibi entry also in the works.
