The pods are open, and the Love Is Blind season 5 cast is ready to kick back and get comfortable.
Given the success of the previous season—Brett and Tiffany's instant connection, Zack and Bliss' unexpected path to love—it seems that singles are entering the experiment with excitement and open hearts.
But as we know well, this series is beloved for its dramatics, and judging from the season 5 trailer, we're getting a lot of it: alleged setups, premature declarations of love and several instances of cold feet. Let's meet the crew responsible for what's sure to be an unforgettable moment in reality TV history.

What is the 'Love Is Blind' season 5 schedule?
Unlike other series, Netflix does not release Love Is Blind all at once, but we don't think you'll have an issue following the journey. Here's what to watch and when:
- Episodes 1-4 on Friday, September 22
- Episodes 5-7 on Friday, September 29
- Episodes 8 and 9 on Friday, October 6
- Episode 10 (the weddings) on Friday, October 13
While reality TV fans still have some time before the new season--and allegedly the most dramatic one to date--premieres, Netflix is graciously delivering other dramatic goods: catch Selling the OC season 2, which premieres on Friday, September 8. Happy TV bingeing!
