The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, March 17, 2023 20 By Raye Smith TV Media 'Blind' faith: A new group of singles lay it all on the line in their search for true love when the smash-hit reality series "Love is Blind" returns Friday, March 24, to Netflix with its fourth season. In a daring format, a group of singles determined to find love based on who they are, rather than what they look like, take on a dating gauntlet with the goal of finding someone to marry — without ever seeing what they look like through the process. To start off, the contes - tants are removed from all po- tential distractions from the outside world, as they go on dates with each other by meet- ing in pods (a format that was appropriately pandemic-friend- ly when the show debuted in 2020), speaking through walls and never meeting face-to-face until they accept a marriage proposal in the pods. Once they've found their (hopefully) perfect match, the newly engaged couples are thrown back into reality as they move in together and spend the next several weeks plan - ning their wedding and finding out if their physical connection matches the emotional bonds they developed in the pods. When their wedding days ar - rive, the couples will have to decide if they'll follow through and marry the person they fell blindly in love with, or if some- one will be left broken-hearted at the altar. Fans of the show will have to wait to find out how it all turns out: episodes are set to drop in batches, weekly on Fridays through mid-April. Episodes 1-5 will be available to binge March 24, episodes 6-8 drop March 31, and episodes 9-11 stream April 7, before the finale airs Friday, April 14. Set in Seattle for Season 4, the series is hosted once again by real-life couple Nick Lachey ("Perfect Match") and Vanessa Lachey ("NCIS: Hawai'i"). Find out which couples will find a love to stand the test of time, and which couples will see their love fizzle out in the real world.
