When will 'Love is Blind' Season 5 Reunion air? Netflix addresses technical glitch as it announces non-live special
HOUSTON, TEXAS: Netflix's 'Love is Blind' Season 5 Reunion is set to premiere on Sunday, October 15 at 8 pm ET and 5 pm PT. Netflix announced the release of the Reunion through a short video with the caption, "Mark your calendars because the Love is Blind season 5 reunion special is coming, and you won’t want to miss this one. Watch together Sunday, October 15 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT only on Netflix."
The only change this time is that the Reunion episode won't be a live broadcast. Instead, it is a pre-filmed episode. The video showed one of the crew members cutting down "Live" from the board that read "Live Reunion Today," hinting that the explosive episode had already been filmed.

Why is Netflix not airing 'Love is Blind' Season 5 Reunion live?
Netflix reveals through a short video clip that 'Love is Blind' Season 5 Reunion "is no Live, but it is unmissable." The reason behind Netflix choosing not to air the Reunion episode live is the mishap that happened last season.
According to Deadline, Netflix referred to the technical glitch experienced in the last season of 'Love is Blind,' which resulted in a significant delay.
In the previous season's Reunion, a black screen was displayed for hours during the special episode's release.
'Love is Blind' Season 4 Reunion became available almost a day later due to this issue. Therefore, Netflix has chosen to release the pre-filmed reunion episode this season to prevent a similar event and the associated chaos and backlash from viewers.
