The filming location and timeline for Love Is Blind season 3 has been revealed, and it's time to share the details. Love Is Blind season 1 was actually shot in 2018, but Netflix didn't release it until February 2020. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic brought along several challenges during the making of Love Is Blind season 2, whose production was delayed by months before it finally took off. The season finally premiered in Spring 2021, followed by Love Is Blind season 3, which started on October 19, 2022.
The bingeworthy Love Is Blind season 3 followed 15 men and 15 women, as they spent 10 days speed dating in the show’s pods. Armed with notebooks and cozy blankets, these men and women who couldn’t see, but just hear each other, found partners they would either marry or dump at the altar four weeks later. Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux, and Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton got married and are still going strong. SK Alagbada and partner Raven Ross, Nancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden, and Cole Barnett and Zanab Jaffrey are no longer together.
Where Was Love Is Blind Season 3 Filmed?
Love Is Blind season 3 featured contestants from Dallas, Texas. According to The Cinemaholic, Los Angeles, California served as the primary filming location. The purpose-built pods where the contestants can talk to each other through a speaker but not see each other were constructed in the LA North Studios. Instead of the resort in Mexico, the honeymoon vacation took place in Malibu, California. Given that the cast of Love Is Blind season 3 were chosen from Dallas, Texas, a significant portion of the filming process took place within the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area.
When Was Love Is Blind Season 3 Filmed?
According to Variety, Love Is Blind season 3 was filmed immediately after Love Is Blind season 2 wrapped in Summer 2021. Filming for the season began in June 2021, and the weddings took place around late June or early July that same year. The After the Altar special was filmed in late 2022. Considering Love Is Blind season 3 premiered on Netflix in late October 2022, the reunion was filmed in the same month, and was then released in November 2022, according to SKPOP.
Why Love Is Blind Season 3 Locations Were Different
The Love Is Blind season 3 honeymoon vacation switch from Mexico to Malibu happened because of COVID-19 restrictions. However, co-host Nick Lachey believed moving to a different city also altered the dynamics between the couples. The compressed filming schedule required that the production company Kinetic Content had to make sure that the cast and crew were following the quarantine rules, and were tested due to COVID-19 regulations. Vanessa Lachey did admit the decision to relocate was ultimately in the hands of the Love Is Blind production team, who wanted the location to be close to Los Angeles for the co-hosts to safely and conveniently film their parts.
