Love is Blind creator Chris Coelen spoke with Vanity Fair, earlier this week, and explained how season two will differ from season one.

“The age demographic that was in the first season– mid-twenties to mid-thirties – there was no magic to that,” Coelen said.

“The whole point of the show is to determine whether any of the surface factors matter… and age is one of those surface factors, so we’d certainly be open to older… but I don’t think we would go much younger. Because I think you actually would want to go with people who are interested in a real lifetime commitment.”

The next season will be changing locations as well. Originally set in Atlanta, Georgia, the show will now move to Chicago, Illinois.

Many elements from season one, such as the pods and number of contestants, will remain the same.

With production for season two being put on hold for the Coronavirus outbreak, no timeline is set for its release. Season two of Love is Blind was originally scheduled to premiere in 2021. The show has also been renewed by Netflix for a third season.

Casting for season two is already underway.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about the new reality dating series on Netflix called Love Is Blind, which shows couples building a connection and getting engaged without ever seeing each other. Bonds are created within a set of meditative pods, where contestants cannot see the people they are speaking to. The first season is officially complete and, of the couples formed, one stood out as a favourite for many: Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton. After getting down on one knee, Cameron and Lauren took a vacation with the rest of the cast to solidify their physical connection and, once they got back home, they were introduced to each other’s parents. Cameron won Lauren’s mother over by spitting some bars for her in a somewhat cringe-worthy display, so it shouldn’t be surprising that he was asked to drop a freestyle during his recent visit to Sway In The Morning.

Currently running press for the show, Lauren and Cameron Hamilton took a trip to Sway’s Universe to speak about the craziness that occurred this season, detailing their bond and how being in an interracial relationship changed both of their views on love. Sway even got Cameron to re-create one of the weirdest moments on the show, asking him to rap a quick freestyle.

“I got a neuroscience girl, yeah I call her The Brain/Her body’s looking right but her head is insane,” brags the reality star while barring out about his wife.
