The Ultimate Love Is Blind Episode Guide: Season 9’s Chaos, After The Altar Status, And Everything We Know About Season 10
The search for love is truly blind, but the drama is crystal clear. As of late December 2025, the newest episodes of the reality dating phenomenon revolve around the shocking conclusion of Love Is Blind Season 9, which was set in Denver, Colorado. The season, which aired its finale in October 2025, delivered a truly unprecedented outcome that has left fans reeling and eagerly awaiting the next batch of content: the highly anticipated After the Altar special and the next major season.
This comprehensive guide breaks down the latest episode status, the biggest controversies from the Denver season, and all the fresh details you need to know about the upcoming Season 10, including its rumored filming location and 2026 premiere window. The experiment’s core premise—can two people fall in love sight unseen—continues to captivate, even when the results are less than romantic.
Love Is Blind Season 9 (Denver): The Unprecedented Chaos
The most recent installment of the show, Love Is Blind Season 9, was filmed in Denver, Colorado, and premiered on Netflix on October 1, 2025, with a finale on October 29, 2025. Hosted by the returning duo Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the season quickly earned a reputation for being one of the most chaotic and controversial in the show's history.
The Denver season started with 32 singles entering the infamous pods, and initially, six couples managed to form a connection strong enough to get engaged. However, the journey from the pods to the altar was fraught with more drama and early exits than nearly any previous season, dramatically reducing the number of couples who made it to Decision Day.
The Final Couples and Shocking Outcome
While six couples got engaged, only five made it to the post-pod tropical vacation, and only three couples ultimately made it to the altar. The season was marked by a high number of cast members, such as Anna Yuan, choosing to leave the experiment early, either before or shortly after an engagement, citing various personal reasons and a lack of connection outside the pods.
The three couples who bravely faced Decision Day were:
- Ali Lima and Anton Rivers: Their journey was a rollercoaster, but they faced the ultimate decision in the finale.
- Kalybriah "Kali" Jones and Edmond "Ed" Harris: A fan-favorite pairing, their compatibility was tested in the real world.
- Megan Miller and Jordan Wells: The third couple to make it to the wedding ceremony, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
The most shocking revelation of the season came in the final episode: not a single couple from the Denver cast got married. For the first time in Love Is Blind history, the entire cast walked away from the altar single, cementing Season 9's status as the most unsuccessful in terms of finding long-term marital success on the show.
When to Expect the Next New Episodes: After the Altar and Season 10
With the Season 9 Reunion having already aired on October 29, 2025, the next "new episodes" fall into two categories: the immediate follow-up special and the next major season.
The Status of Love Is Blind Season 9: After the Altar
The most immediate new content fans are clamoring for is the After the Altar special. This multi-episode follow-up typically airs several months after the finale, catching up with the cast members one to two years after their wedding day (or lack thereof). Given the unprecedented outcome of zero marriages in Season 9, the After the Altar special is expected to be particularly explosive.
As of late December 2025, Netflix has not announced an official release date for the Love Is Blind Season 9: After the Altar special. However, based on the typical production and release schedule for previous seasons, fans can expect the special to drop sometime in the first half of 2026. This special will reveal which couples, if any, reunited or started dating after the show, and will certainly address the massive backlash and drama that followed the Denver season's conclusion.
Love Is Blind Season 10: Location, Premiere Date, and Rumors
Netflix has already renewed Love Is Blind for a tenth season, confirming that the experiment will continue into 2026. This is the ultimate "new episode" content that fans are most excited about.
Anticipated Season 10 Details:
- Expected Premiere Date: While no official date has been set, Love Is Blind Season 10 is widely anticipated to premiere in early to late 2026, continuing the show's pattern of two seasons per year.
- Potential Filming Locations: The show moves to a new major US city each season to find its pool of singles. Multiple cities are currently rumored to be the next stop for the pods, including:
- Ohio Tri-State Area: Reports suggest casting and filming may have taken place across the Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati regions, potentially drawing singles from all three major metropolitan areas.
- Boston: Rumors have also swirled about casting calls in the New England area, making Boston a strong contender for the next location.
- Philadelphia: The city of Philadelphia has also been mentioned as a strong possibility for a future season, though it may be Season 11.
- Hosts: It is highly likely that Nick and Vanessa Lachey will return to host Season 10, having been the face of the franchise since its inception in Atlanta (Season 1).
The production team, Kinetic Content, continues to explore diverse US demographics, and the selection of a new city for Season 10 will introduce a fresh batch of singles hoping to defy the odds—especially after the disastrous outcome of the Denver season. Entities involved in the show's success include the show's creator, Chris Coelen, and its streaming home, Netflix.
Topical Authority: Why Season 9’s Failure Matters
The failure of the Denver season to produce a single marriage is a major talking point in reality television. This outcome raises serious questions about the long-term viability and ethical nature of the Love Is Blind "experiment." The high number of initial engagements (six) followed by the high number of breakups before the altar (three) and then the final rejection of marriage by the remaining three couples (Ali and Anton, Kalybriah and Edmond, Megan and Jordan) has led to intense fan and media scrutiny.
This scrutiny is exactly why the After the Altar special is a must-watch event. It will provide a final check-in on the cast, including other memorable singles like Kacie McIntosh and the couples who broke up early, to see if they found love outside of the show’s rigid timeline. The show's ability to bounce back from this "no marriage" season with a strong, successful Season 10 will be the ultimate test of the franchise's staying power in 2026.
