Just a few weeks after the airing of Love Is Blind: After the Altar season 4, we’re already gearing up to welcome a fresh pod squad in Love Is Blind season 5. Rest assured, you won’t want to miss this exciting season of the popular Netflix dating series.
As in previous seasons, Love Is Blind season 5 selected its cast from a specific city this year. While season 4 primarily featured individuals from the Seattle, Washington area, Netflix scouted a new city for the season 5 cast.
While certain aspects, such as the iconic pods and the show’s studio, remain consistent from season to season, Netflix keeps things interesting by exploring different cities each year to find a fresh pool of singles. Fun fact: Did you know that Love Is Blind utilizes a sophisticated algorithm inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning Gale-Shapley algorithm to establish initial matches?
Yet, despite some constants that fans can always count on (like those golden goblets, of course), the show occasionally introduces exciting twists and surprises. So, where was Love Is Blind season 5 filmed? And where did the couples go for their vacations this time around?

Where are the Love Is Blind season 5 contestants from?
The casting process for Love Is Blind season 5 predominantly occurred in Houston, Texas. This means that most of the singles hail from the Lone Star state, or at least currently reside there. In contrast, previous seasons have recruited singles from cities like Seattle, Chicago, and beyond.
How big are the Love Is Blind pods?
Here’s a fascinating tidbit: Were you aware that the studio housing the Love Is Blind pods is even more spacious than the White House? That’s right, while the White House covers 55,000 square feet, the Love Is Blind pods are situated in a sprawling 68,000 square-foot studio located in Santa Clarita, California.
Regarding the pods themselves, Netflix provides information that each one measures approximately 12 feet by 12 feet, with a total of 20 pods in all – ten designated for the men and ten for the women.
Where do the couples go on vacation in Love Is Blind season 5?
While we won’t divulge which couples embark on vacations in the latest season, we can reveal that they revisit a significant destination! In a departure from previous seasons, the recently engaged pairs journey to the all-inclusive Grand Velas Riviera Maya resort in Mexico, marking the first return to this location since season 1.
Get ready for the premiere of Love Is Blind season 5, scheduled for Friday, September 22. Subsequent episodes will be unveiled each Friday, with the final release on October 13.
