Since its debut in 2020, Love Is Blind has reshaped reality dating TV by turning the genre on its head. Instead of basing connections on first impressions and looks, the show’s signature experiment trapped singles in 'pods' where they talk, but cannot see each other. What followed were some of the most talked-about moments in reality TV history. That success has launched international versions (from Brazil to France to Japan) and inspired years of pop culture chatter about the nature of love and attraction.

Now the experiment continues with a brand-new edition, Love Is Blind is gearing up for its Season 10 premiere on February 11, 2026 on Netflix. But who are the ones joining this trail? 

Netflix has assembled one of the most professionally diverse casts the franchise has seen so far. At the heart of the season are finance and corporate professionals like Alex Henderson, 31, who works in financial sales, and Alex Lowrie, 33, an assistant controller. In the healthcare corner, Amber Morrison, a 34-year-old nurse practitioner, and Ashley Carpenter, a 34-year-old claims manager, bring grounded energy and real-world emotional intelligence into the pods.

The cast also leans heavily into analytical thinkers. Brennan O’Callaghan, 30, who manages accounting and finance, and Bri McNees, 34, a senior merchant, arrive with a clear idea of what they want from a partner. Meanwhile, Britt LaVon, 37, a flight attendant, and Brittany Wicker, 33, a registered nurse, represent two women who have spent years putting others first and are now prioritizing their own emotional needs. While there also is Emma Betsinger, a 28 years old retail merchandiser. 

Rounding out the ensemble is a wide-ranging group that includes marketing managers, recruiters, software engineers, sales leaders, and business owners.

Faces are now revealed, but before any couple is crowned, Season 10 already feels poised to be one of the franchise’s most unpredictable chapters yet. With a brand-new location and one of the largest casts to date, the Ohio edition has all the ingredients.

The format remains faithful to the show’s now-iconic structure. Thirty-two singles enter the pods, where they date for around 10 days without ever seeing one another, relying entirely on voice and emotions. If a connection feels strong enough, proposals happen inside the pods, before couples even know what the other looks like. Once engaged, they finally meet face-to-face and move into the real world together.

Season 10 will once again be hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, who guide the cast through everything from first emotional breakthroughs to the final wedding-day decisions. While Netflix has yet to confirm the exact episode count or rollout schedule, recent seasons suggest a weekly batch release format, similar to Season 9, which unfolded across roughly 12 episodes and ended with a dedicated reunion special. 

Expect Ohio’s pod experiment to follow the same structure, just with new regional dynamics, fresh personalities, and a whole new set of emotional stakes.
