DENVER — Get ready Denver reality TV fans, we now know when the “Love Is Blind” pods will officially open.

The reality dating show travels to cities across the U.S. seeking out singles who are ready to tie the knot. But there’s a catch.

As the name suggests, the premise is to find out “if love is truly blind,” as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey often say, by having people date without seeing one another. Instead, they have conversations from two individual “pods” separated by a wall. The goal is to build a deep emotional connection and fall in love based solely on personality.

Those lucky ones who do then commit to an engagement sight unseen. In fact, the prospective couples can only meet face-to-face once they've gotten engaged. From there, they have four weeks to see if they can make things work long term before announcing whether or not they will stay together at the altar in front of friends and family.

Season 9, which features singles from the Mile High City, will premiere on Oct. 1, Netflix announced Thursday.

The airing has been a long time coming. The Denver cast started filming in February 2024, so once the season debuts, participants will have had more than a year off camera to try and potentially see their relationship through. Each season includes a live reunion following the season finale, so viewers can catch up with the couples and, importantly, see who's still kicking.

Can’t wait until October? Netflix recently began airing “Love Is Blind UK” to hold you over.
