Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' Season 5 takes 28 singles to the scenic city of Houston
HOUSTON, TEXAS: 'Love Is Blind' Season 5 was filmed in Houston, Texas. The first four seasons of the Netflix dating show were filmed in various bustling cities across the country that had fun activities for singles.
The show’s production company typically chooses to cast and film in highly-populated US cities.
'Love Is Blind' Season 1 was set in Atlanta, Georgia; Season 2 took place in Chicago, Illinois; Season 3 occurred in Dallas, Texas; and Season 4 was filmed in Seattle, Washington.
Meanwhile, the viewers are still gushing over the 'Love is Blind' Season 4, which showed the story of five couples who got engaged without being able to see each other.
However, three couples got married and one couple split up at the end of the season.
The upcoming season guarantees more sweet yet awkward moments as the singles explore connections in the pods and fall in love without seeing each other.
