Love Is Blind: Netflix Plans to Film Seasons 12 and 13 in Atlanta

Love Is Blind, Netflix’s popular relationship reality show, seems to be heading back to its hometown. Production companies Delirium TV and Kinetic Content informed the local filming union, IATSE 479, that they will bring an unidentified “Singles Project” to Atlanta starting next month. The main clue that it is the Netflix show is the project’s identification with the codes “S12/S13,” clearly indicating the production of seasons 12 and 13. With filming expected to begin in February 2026, the series continues its global success, exploring emotional connections before visual contact.

The return to Atlanta, where the first season was filmed in 2018, is no surprise, as the city has become an iconic setting for the show. Netflix, however, has not officially confirmed the news, keeping its usual secrecy around production details. The choice of the city seems strategic, thanks to its established filming infrastructure and the know-how of the local crew, who already know the format’s behind-the-scenes workings well. In this way, the platform seeks to replicate the formula that won over millions of fans around the world.

Production Details and Schedule

According to documents sent to the union, filming for the two new seasons is scheduled to take place between February and April 2026. The schedule calls for work at Mortex Studios in Atlanta, with a crew expected to include several professionals already familiar with the show. Among the names mentioned in previous records are cinematographer John McElwee and production supervisor Brian Rise, suggesting continuity in the behind-the-camera technical team. This consistency is crucial to maintaining the aesthetic and narrative pace viewers love.

The Love Is Blind format, which isolates singles in “pods” for conversations without seeing each other, remains the major draw. Participants seek to build a deep connection through voice alone, then decide whether to propose marriage without ever having exchanged a glance. Despite the ups and downs of the couples formed over the seasons, the appeal of the social experiment remains strong. The renewal for two more seasons therefore reflects Netflix’s confidence in the format’s enduring appeal, which sparks heated discussions on social media with every new batch of participants.

The Reality Show’s Legacy and Future

Since its debut, Love Is Blind has established itself as one of Netflix’s most talked-about reality shows, even inspiring international versions. The show is known for its diverse cast, often recruited from major U.S. cities such as Dallas, Houston, and Miami. Yet Atlanta holds a special place, serving as the franchise’s birthplace. Meanwhile, the reality show’s continued success comes at a time of major expansion for the genre on the platform, which is investing heavily in unscripted productions to captivate global audiences.

The future of the couples formed on the show is also a constant point of interest for fans. Of the 41 marriage proposals made through season 10, only 14 couples remain together today, a tally that always sparks speculation about the strength of relationships formed under so much pressure. Still, success stories like Lauren and Cameron’s — who married in the first season and are now parents — prove that genuine connections can indeed emerge from this unique experiment. With the promise of more drama, romance, and twists, seasons 12 and 13 should keep viewers glued to their screens throughout 2026.
