Love is Blind is a Netflix dating show that follows contestants as they date “blind” — in special pods that allow them to get to know their dates without seeing what they look like. Only after getting engaged do couples meet face to face, and the show follows them as they move in together and prepare to potentially wed. The eight season of the show is due out on Valentine’s day on Netflix.
Here’s Netflix’s trailer for season 8:

Adam Beavis

Age: 33
Zodiac sign: Leo
Occupation: Fashion Director / Co-Owner
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “By the time Adam was 13 years old, he’d already traveled to six continents. But this globe-trotter believes the right person should make even trips to the grocery store feel like an adventure. When it comes to dating, Adam has been losing hope after swiping away for the past few years, especially as the pool has dwindled. “Everyone [here] meets their person when they’re like, 22,” he says. “All of a sudden, you’re 26 and there’s no single people anymore.” But while most of his peers were settling down, Adam was busy growing his men’s clothing business from one tiny location to six stores across the country. He may have yet to select a mate, but at least he’ll have no problems picking out his wedding fit.”

Age: 29
Zodiac sign: Taurus
Occupation: Commercial Real Estate Broker
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Alex may know how to ride a unicycle, though after some time in the pods, he’s hoping to pedal a bicycle built for two. But that’s not his only special skill — this former high school music teacher plays the guitar, piano, bass, drums, violin, clarinet, and more. Ideally, Alex’s partner won’t mind a bit of noise since he’s got plenty of instruments to practice and he’s also been known to snore. “I can’t help it,” he says. “So please forgive me.” If he meets an adventurous and slightly nerdy woman who can overlook that potentially aggravating habit, he’ll have no problem putting his dating days to bed.”
Andrew Cole

Age: 27
Zodiac sign: Cancer
Occupation: Realtor
Where you can find him on social media: TikTok
Bio: “Heading into the pods, intellectually curious Andrew is ready to go deep. “I’m someone who is constantly searching for answers to not always the simplest questions,” he says. “I’m looking for someone who is willing to go on that journey.” But cerebral explorations aren’t the only adventures this former Army helicopter mechanic is interested in. For Andrew, the frigid temperatures are the hardest part about dating in Minneapolis, making romantic nature walks out of the question. Instead, he prefers to take dates to the dance floor. And, while having two left feet isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, a potential partner who asks him to sacrifice his faith would definitely send him whirling away in the opposite direction.”
Benji Smith

Age: 26
Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Occupation: Entrepreneur / Realtor
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Digital nomad Benji hasn’t lived in the same place for the last seven years. Though he’s the youngest single entering the pods, he’s committed to settling down with someone special, who also doesn’t mind globe-trotting from time to time. “I’m a huge traveler and I see a lot of that in our future,” he says. As for his dream partner, Benji’s looking for her to check every possible box. He wants to connect with someone who’s spontaneous … but can also plan, and someone who pushes him out of his comfort zone … but also makes him feel comfortable. Only time will tell if the total package is waiting for him on the other side of the glowing wall.”
Ben Mezzenga

Age: 28
Zodiac sign: Libra
Occupation: Developer
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Ben’s competitive nature serves him well in his intramural kickball league, but he’s yet to bring home a championship title in the game of love. A team player on and off the field, Ben says he can always sense when someone’s feeling left out. “I have kind of a sixth sense for that and love to just bring people in and make them feel included,” he says. If Ben meets a woman who can match his energy and lead with vulnerability in the pods, he won’t hesitate to draft her as a partner in life. And, if she has a competitive streak of her own and complements his outgoing and playful personality, then it just might be a win-win. “
Brad Morgan

Age: 35
Zodiac sign: Sagittarius
Occupation: Dentist
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram
Bio: “In the pods, Brad plans to bring “Midwest nice” back to dating. “I’m looking for a best friend, someone who’s easy to talk to and nice to me,” he says. “There have been some mean [women] over the years, and I’d like to try to avoid that.” As a dentist, Brad has no interest in getting chewed up and spit out by a girl with a nasty bite. All the pods sweeties better brace themselves because Brad does have some mean moves. He once won $10,000 doing a freestyle dance competition in Miami Beach. Do you think his routine involved flossing?”
Brian C Sumption

Age: 30
Zodiac sign: Cancer
Occupation: Wine bar owner
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram
Bio: “Brian has been putting his business acumen to good use from a young age, opening up a wine bar during his senior year of college. Focusing on his career hasn’t exactly helped him in the dating department. But now he’s seeking a partner with whom he can share a bottle of his favorite vintage and help him nail down a better work-life balance. Despite his discerning palate, you won’t find any wine stains on his teeth. “I get complimented on my smile a lot,” he says. Hopefully, he’ll match with a woman that also takes care of her pearly whites, as poor hygiene is a deal-breaker.”
Daniel Hastings

Age: 30
Zodiac sign: Taurus
Occupation: Sales Account Executive
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “This former Gerber baby model is all grown up and ready to find a partner he can go gaga over. With his parents’ long-lasting marriage as an inspiration for his own future love story, Daniel is intent on building a family with a woman who appreciates his sensitive side. He’s hoping that she’ll love him — and his tendency to put his foot in his mouth — unconditionally. Though he doesn’t always think before he speaks, which he’s worried might get him in trouble in the pods, his openness and willingness to ask for help are the qualities Daniel’s most proud of developing.”
David Bettenburg
![](https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screen-Shot-2025-02-13-at-12.42.55-PM-copy.jpg?w=850)
Age: 33
Zodiac sign: Aries
Occupation: Medical Device Sales
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram
Bio: “Working in the medical aesthetics industry, Dave is used to concentrating on people’s looks, but his biggest turn-off is superficiality. That, and too much Botox. Now, he’s eager to approach dating in a totally new way and prioritize shared interests and values over physical appearance. Though he sometimes struggles to express his feelings, Dave is prepared to get real with a partner who shares his social stamina, but has a different enough personality to keep him curious. If he finds a woman who can deck the halls with all 40 of his cousins every Christmas Eve, she might just be the one. But anyone who wins Dave’s heart must first get the stamp of approval from the two most important people in his life: his dad and sister.”
Devin Buckley

Age: 29
Zodiac sign: Pisces
Occupation: Youth Director/Coach
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Sneakerhead Devin built his own basketball training business and mentoring program to help kids reach their goals. When he’s not on the court as a high school coach, he opts to forgo the bar scene to stay in and cook up delicious dishes. Devin is hoping this experiment will help him accomplish one of his own greatest ambitions: meeting a woman who supports him from the sidelines during big games and in the kitchen every night as his sous chef. “I would love to just be at home listening to music, partying and dancing,” he says. “And then cooking together before enjoying a meal.””
Hugo Orieny
![](https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screen-Shot-2025-02-13-at-12.46.23-PM-copy.jpg?w=850)
Age: 30
Zodiac sign: Pisces
Occupation: Marketing
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram
Bio: “It’s not unusual for Hugo to take long, last-minute road trips to try a new restaurant in another state on a random Friday night. No wonder he describes his experience dating in Minneapolis as “repetitive and mundane.” A down-to-earth woman with that same spontaneous spirit will make the perfect co-pilot on these frequent unplanned joyrides. But Hugo is searching for a future wife who also doesn’t mind if he sometimes rides solo. “One thing I’m not willing to sacrifice for love would be my alone time,” he says. “I do need some space every now and then.” But after four years of the single life, he’s ready to make room for a partner who shares his goals and values.”
Joey Leveille
![](https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screen-Shot-2025-02-13-at-12.48.14-PM-copy.jpg?w=850)
Age: 35
Zodiac sign: Taurus
Occupation: Physician Associate
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Always a groomsman, but never the groom, Joey was in 11 weddings last year. Ideally, he will find someone who’s handy with a needle and thread since he ripped his pants on the dance floor at six of those 11 weddings. Joey is entering the pods in hopes that it will finally be his turn to say “I do.” If he forms a relationship with someone who is empathetic and family-oriented, then Joey won’t have any problems making compromises. “Everyone’s got healthy boundaries, so as long as we discuss and don’t cross them, there wouldn’t be anything I can’t sacrifice,” he says. But there is one thing Joey won’t tolerate from a partner. “If they give me a wet willy, I’m not going to be happy,” he shares. “That is my pet peeve, and everybody knows it.””
Mason Horacen

Age: 33
Zodiac sign: Taurus
Occupation: Cinematographer
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Mason is used to relying on his visual instincts as a cinematographer, but now he’s coming out from behind the camera to switch things up for love. His biggest accomplishment is making a living in a creative career he loves, and he’s looking for that same passion and drive in a potential partner. A skater girl would be particularly rad, as Mason shreds whenever he gets the chance, even sneaking in skating sessions before work. In fact, he’s so committed to the sport that he once went through an entire workday with a broken foot. While he may be tough on the ramp, Mason says his friends and family would beg to differ, lovingly describing him as a “big softie.””
Mo Ndiaye

Age: 35
Zodiac sign: Capricorn
Occupation: Property manager
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram and TikTok
Bio: “Born in the Bronx before moving to Senegal and returning to the United States before he turned 10, Mo learned English as his third language. After a year and a half of single life in a city that sometimes feels way too small, he is hitting the pods to see if he’s also fluent in the language of love. His greatest accomplishment is becoming the first in his family to graduate college, but the learning didn’t stop there. Mo says he experienced significant personal growth throughout his 20s, especially when it comes to communication. Now, funny and outgoing Mo hopes to connect with his forever person — someone trustworthy, who embraces his big heart and resilient spirit.”
Scott Sanderson

Age: 34
Zodiac sign: Sagittarius
Occupation: Project manager
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram
Bio: “Like any good Midwestern boy, Scott is extremely close with his friends and family. But for the first time, he’s ready to make connections based on his own instincts instead of what others may think. Described by those who know him best as a “golden retriever,” Scott may struggle a bit with long dates lounging in the pods. “I do not sit still very well,” he says. “I enjoy taking in a football game on the couch, but after that, I need to get up and run off my energy.” Still, that doesn’t mean a stimulating conversation with a “girl that’s well-read” won’t get his tail wagging.”
Tom Dann
![](https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screen-Shot-2025-02-13-at-12.57.49-PM-copy.jpg?w=850)
Age: 38
Zodiac sign: Scorpio
Occupation: Management consultant
Where you can find him on social media: Instagram
Bio: “Born in Brazil and raised in Minnesota, Tom is a self-described fitness fanatic who doesn’t take rest days. “I work out when I go on vacation and I’m pretty focused on my diet,” he says. Now, Tom’s ready to show that same level of commitment to a life partner. While he’s slightly nervous about how fast a relationship could develop in the pods, he’s excited about the unplugged dating exercise. But if Tom ends up falling for someone who’s always “glued to their phone” after the pods — his number one ick — it could become a sticky situation.”
The first six episodes of Love is Blind are available on Netflix on Friday, Feb. 14.
