| Get ready: ‘Love Is Blind' is coming to Boston this fall |
|
|
“Love Is Blind,” the popular Netflix blind dating show, is officially coming to Boston. Season 11 is set to launch on Netflix in the fall, with Nick and Vanessa Lachey returning as hosts, the streaming giant announced Wednesday. As in past seasons, the show will involve a group of men and women who get to know each other on dates from behind a glowing wall, without being able to see their counterparts. After a series of dates, they’ll choose someone to marry before meeting them face-to-face. They’ll then move in together, plan their weddings and find out if their connections outside of the pods match the bonds they developed initally. Then on their wedding day, they’ll have to decide whether love really is blind — or not. |
