Your favourite Netflix show is back with a bang.

Sound the klaxon: Love Is Blind season two is here, which means your favourite matchmaking pods are officially back.

It made headlines last year, not just for being another easy-to-binge matchmaking show, but because of its rather, ahem, unique concept. The premise? Simple: a handful of couples blind date in pods until they feel like they've met their ultimate match. From there and to advance on to the next stage of the show, they must get engaged - without ever having seen their partner. How many will end in genuine "I do's" and how many will call off the wedding?

This year, the cast filmed in Chicago and saw some seriously cute romances bloom - but more about that in a bit.

Two couples are still together from Love Is Blind season one, both of who got married on the show - Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed, and Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett. The Love is Blind hotel in Mexico even offered package deals after the show,

So what's in store this season? (Check out the new dating app thats basically Love is Blind but IRL, here).

When was Love is Blind season two announced? 

Good question - because we've been waiting for what feels like an age for the show.

While the second season was announced in March 2020, things were post-phoned because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We're assuming that filming was halted due to lockdowns and spreading waves, which is understandable if frustrating.

It means we've waited a whole two years for the show to return.

Love is Blind season two: pods

When is Love is Blind season two airing? 

Love is Blind season two launched on Netflix on Friday 11th of February, meaning its ready to view now.

Thanks to Netflix and it letting you watch shows back to back, you'd normally be able to binge watch all of the shows, if you so wished. No judgement here...

But this year, shows are dropping weekly so you'll have to wait to catch up as it comes out.

Where can I watch the Love is Blind trailer? 

Right here - thanks to the team at Netflix, you can get an exclusive first look at the drama ahead.

Who's your money on to couple up, fall in love and get married? We wonder if any secretly knew each other IRL before the show, like these two contestants last year...
