Board up the windows and throw a mattress in the tub because a tornado named Love Is Blind is coming to town! Few reality shows have as great of an impact on their filming location as Love Is Blind. By casting dozens of singles from one area, the show is essentially creating a pocket of Netflix-lebrities and Instagram influencers concentrated in one metropolitan area. Come on — Season 4’s Chelsea’s throwing out the first pitch at a Mariners game! Seattle will never be the same.
As for those of us who don’t live in the season’s featured location, Love Is Blind provides a nice look at some of the city’s restaurants, entertainment, and pre-furnished luxury apartment buildings. Why not use Love Is Blind as a kind of bingeable travel agent?
And I can’t forget the pods themselves, which are so disconnected from reality that they may as well be located on a space station. SPOILER: they are not, and don’t give the Lacheys any ideas about a space shuttle dating show. We don’t need a fiasco like the Love Is Blind live reunion happening in space.
So, where on Earth was Love Is Blind Season 5 filmed? Here’s everything you need to know about Love Is Blind Season 5’s filming locations.
This is a question with multiple answers, each one depending on which phase of Love Is Blind we’re talking about. Since Week 1’s episodes are all in the pods, let’s start with where those pods are located. Hint: they’re not in IKEA.
Love Is Blind’s pods are located at LA North Stages in Santa Clarita, California. That includes the pods and the living quarters for all of the participants. For the singles that emerge engaged, the road to marriage begins with a blind date in Santa Clarita.
How are you gonna make a show about marriage and cast people who live a thousand miles apart? That’s why, as with previous seasons, everyone on the show lives in the same city — or at least a reasonable distance from said city. So far we’ve had casts from Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and Seattle. Season 5’s cast hails from Houston. That’s right — we’re back in Texas, y’all. Is the Lone Star state big enough to handle two separate Love is Blind casts? Only time will tell.
New episodes of Love Is Blind Season 5 premiere on Netflix on Friday, September 29.
