Emily Longeretta Warning: This story contains spoilers from the first six episodes of “Love Is Blind” Season 8, now streaming on Netflix. On the heels of “Love Is Blind” celebrating its fifth anniversary, Season 8 kicked off on Friday with the first six episodes — almost all taking place in the pods for the first time.

In the first half of the season, five couples get engaged after many very serious conversations, including LGBTQ+ rights and Black Lives Matter opinions (or lack of, in Ben’s case).

For the first time in “Love Is Blind” history, the most-shown conversations are between people who don’t get engaged. While the first six episodes are streaming now, episodes 7-9 will be released on Feb.

21, 10-11 will be out Feb. 28 and the finale will drop March 7. Kinetic Content CEO and “Love Is Blind” creator Chris Coelen breaks down the format changes, upping the game in the music department and more. This season spent a ton of time in the pods — six episodes!
