Is Love is Blind scripted? Netflix ‘staged’ rumors answered

Love is Blind has been extremely popular on Netflix and fans have been loving the latest series. While watching the show, many viewers have wondered if Love is Blind is scripted or real — so, here’s everything to know.

Reality show Love is Blind premiered its first season in 2020, and since then there have been a total of four seasons, with a fifth that began in September.

The show sees contestants placed into purpose-built pods, from which they are able to date people using only their voices. If a proposal is accepted, a couple will be able to meet face-to-face, and by the end of the series, they will decide whether to go ahead with the marriage.

The show has been hugely popular among fans, but many viewers have wondered whether or not the series is scripted.

Love is Blind Season 5 began on September 22.

Is Love is Blind scripted or real?

Love is Blind is an unscripted reality series on Netflix, meaning what you see is genuine on-screen.

Sister of Season 1 contestant Mark Cuevas, Melissa Cuevas, said that “none” of the show is scripted in response to a fan comment on social media.

Reportedly, even the people running the show were surprised by some of the outcomes in the series. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2020, series creator Chris Coelen said: “As a producer, I was kind of nervous like, is anybody actually gonna get engaged? Is anyone going to make it to the altar? And, in the end, we actually had more couples get engaged than we were able to follow on the show.”

However, as with most shows of this variety, producers may have a role in influencing certain aspects, despite the show being unscripted.
