Are the pods closing up shop, or can we expect Love Is Blind season 6 at some point in the near future? Sure, we've only just met the Love Is Blind season 5 couples, and they are quite literally still in the honeymoon phase, but we can't help but think ahead—our future TV binges depend on it.

Will this wild ride see another season, or will we have to part ways with the extremely unorthodox yet completely engrossing premise? Will those Love Is Blind lawsuits, which allege mistreatment of contestants and inadequate pay, have any effect on the future of the franchise? Here's what you need to know.

Though we don't have a sense of timelines quite yet, it appears that Love Is Blind season 6 is in the works with Netflix and the show's creator, Kinetic Content. At this time, any legal allegations do not appear to affect what's coming down the pipeline, but we'll be sure to keep you updated, should that change.

According to multiple sources, filming is about to get underway towards the end of 2023, though it's still unclear where the next set of hopeful romantics will be from. Love Is Blind casting calls revealed that scouts were in the Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota areas, so it's possible we can get a taste of the Midwest since we've been to Texas twice in a very short amount of time. (We've been to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, and Houston thus far.) Regardless of the location, Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen wants to keep things coming.

"Gimmicks might work for a season, but then you’re done. And these shows have to be nurtured," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "Sometimes, even within the reality industry, people take execution for granted. I’ve heard comments from really smart people in this business to the effect of 'Oh, by your second or third season, a show’ll just edit itself.' No, it won’t!"

Although it's too soon to say, we suspect that Love Is Blind season 6 will make its way to our screens at some point in spring 2024. But until then, we'll just have to busy ourselves with the most recent declarations of love...and drama, of course.

The first four episodes of Love Is Blind season 5 are available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 22. The show drops episodes weekly on Fridays until October 13.
