Sure, the pods are one thing, but where was Love is Blind season 4 when those daters finally had the opportunity to step off a sound stage and set eyes on one another?
Like previous seasons, Love is Blind season 4—which premiered on Netflix on Friday, March 24—begins with a group of singles going on "blind" dates from behind partitions, so their connection is based on personality alone. Only when a love connection is formed and the duo becomes engaged can the Love is Blind couples see each other in person, both at a luxe tropical vacation and back in their hometown.
So where were those Love Is Blind season 4 episodes filmed? From this season's city setting to the five-star Mexican resort where some of the Love is Blind season 4 couples got romantic (and others broke up), here's your filming guide for the show's fourth season.
Where was 'Love is Blind' season 4 filmed?
Though the pod portion of Love is Blind season 4 was reportedly filmed on sound stages at LA North Studios in Santa Clarita, California, the main filming location of the fourth season was Seattle, Washington, with all of the daters this season being locals of the Emerald City. (For comparison, season one of Love Is Blind was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia; season two in Chicago, Illinois; and season three in Dallas, Texas).
As for why producers chose to set each season in one specific season, Love is Blind's creator and executive producer, Chris Coelen, told Variety: "We wanted people to all be living, currently in the same place. It’s too difficult if you’re from Tampa and they’re from Portland, that just throws another wrench in. We wanted to give them a real shot at making their love and their marriage working."
Funnily enough, some of the season 4 Love is Blind cast members even blamed their Pacific Northwest hometowns for their romance woes. “There’s a very unique culture here, at least, like, the social-cultural dynamic is pretty different from where I’m from down in the South,” dater Paul Peden told The Seattle Times. “In Louisiana, people are very open and warm. I think that can contribute … if you’re, say, a transplant from another area trying to date Seattleites, you just don’t quite match.”
Trs Yucatan: all about the 'Love is Blind' season 4 hotel
Each season, the newly-engaged Love is Blind daters leave the pods and take a Mexican "honeymoon" to better get to know each other face-to-face. This season, they headed to the TRS Yucatan, a five-star luxury resort located on the Riviera Maya coastline.
The adult-only, all-inclusive property boasts couple-ready romantic bungalows, private poolside suites, a waterfront infinity pool, a spacious spa and wellness center, aqua excursions and more. Rooms for two start at $700-plus per night.
Where is the 'Love is Blind' season 5 location?
Yes, a fifth season of Love is Blind is already in the works! And though Netflix has not officially announced the filming location of Love is Blind season 5, Internet sleuths seem to think that the production will take place in Houston, Texas. If you're keeping count, that would make for two Texas-set seasons, since season three already took place in Dallas.
Back in 2020, Coelen told Variety that the reality dating show would expand from domestic destinations to more far-flung settings. (A Brazilian adaptation premiered on October 6, 2021, with a Japanese spin-off following on February 8, 2022.)
"Look, the idea is that ultimately we’re going to do this in other countries—it’s very global. There’s lots of places that that we could take it," Coelen said to the outlet. "Chicago is a great place to look at, so is New York, Boston, Houston. There’s so many different places that we could go. And like I said, outside of the country as well."
Love Is Blind season 4 premiered on Netflix on Friday, March 24. And be sure to check out other shows like Love Is Blind, too.
