Netflix is serving up a Valentine’s Day treat with the highly anticipated return of Love Is Blind Season 8! Set to premiere on February 14, this season not only marks the show’s fifth anniversary but also introduces the largest cast yet – 32 singles from Minnesota looking for love.

With an eclectic mix of contestants ranging in age from 26 to 43, fans are in for a rollercoaster of romance, heartbreak, and (hopefully) a few happily-ever-afters. So, who’s stepping into the pods this season? From a classically trained ballerina to a successful executive assistant, here’s a sneak peek at some of the hopeful romantics taking a chance on blind love.

The Women


Amanda Burke, 43 – District Retail Manager 

A self-proclaimed sourdough aficionado, Amanda is hoping her dream guy rises to the occasion. “Somebody who can’t communicate is definitely an ick for me,” she admits. Will she find a man who’s just as kneady for love as she is?


Brittany, 35 – Partnership Executive 

Brittany, a former college basketball coach, is looking for a partner who can shoot their shot with confidence. “I want someone who can teach me new things,” she says. Let's see if Brittney finds her love!


Kylie Shuelke, 28 – Medical Student 

Kylie’s got the prescription for love and isn’t afraid to write it. “I’m here to find my husband,” she declares. But will she find a partner who shares her faith and fashion-forward mindset?


Lauren O'Brien, 31 – Educational Sales 

Coming from a massive Irish Catholic family (80 first cousins, to be exact!), Lauren is ready to build a lasting love story. “I just like to know what’s going on and how people are feeling,” she says. But maybe overthinking could get in the way. 


Madison, 28 – Artist 

Her longest relationship? Her French bulldog, Henri. “I’ve never settled, and I don’t plan to start now,” Madison says. But will her dream man paint a perfect picture of love?


Meg Fink, 31 – Oncology Nurse 

Meg is a free spirit with a big heart, but she’s got one major ick: “Somebody who doesn’t ask questions back.” Meg is on the journey of finding someone who reciprocates her energy. 


Molly Mulaney, 30 – Executive Assistant 

Molly is ready for her Hallmark love story. She even brought a Christmas ornament to the pods in hopes of gifting it to her future husband. Will her festive fantasy come true?


Monica Danus, 28 – Digital Marketing 

Family is everything for Monica. “I want my partner to feel like another family member,” she shares. But let's not let dirty sneakers be a deal-breaker. 


Taylor Haag, 32 – Colonoscopy Nurse 

Taylor is already picturing her future Christmas tree with her dream man. “I could cry just thinking about it,” she says. But will she find someone who’s equally holiday-obsessed?


Tiera Wright, 34 – Marketing Strategist (Gemini)

Old-fashioned romance is the name of Tiera’s game. “I’m very traditional,” she says. But will she find her Michael B. Jordan lookalike?

The Men


Adam Beavis, 33 – Fashion Director/Co-Owner 

A globetrotter and entrepreneur, Adam is looking for someone who can make even the most mundane moments feel like an adventure. Let's hope his perfect match fits the bill.

Andrew Cole, 27 – Realtor 

This former Army helicopter mechanic is looking for deep conversations and meaningful connections. “I’m searching for answers, and I want someone who’s willing to explore life with me,” he says.


Benji Smith, 26 – Entrepreneur/Realtor 

The youngest in the pods, Benji has lived in different places for the past seven years. Will his nomadic lifestyle be a deal-breaker, or will love finally make him settle down?


Brad Morgan, 35 – Dentist 

Midwest nice? Check. Freestyle dance champion? Also check. This dentist is hoping to put love in his dental plan. He’s looking for someone as passionate as he is, so get ready to make a connection that’s “plaque”-tacular!


Brian C Sumption, 30 – Wine Bar Owner

With a passion for good wine and great conversation, Brian is looking for someone to share both. “I get complimented on my smile a lot,” he jokes. But will his match make him grin from ear to ear?

David Bettenburg, 33 – Medical Device Sales 

Working in the aesthetics industry, David is over superficiality. “I want to connect on a deeper level,” he says. But will his potential match be willing to go beyond surface-level conversations


Devin Buckley, 29 – Youth Director/Coach 

A sneakerhead and coach, Devin runs a basketball training business and loves mentoring kids. He’s looking for a partner to cheer him on – both courtside and in the kitchen, where they can cook, dance, and enjoy life together.


Hugo Orieny, 30 – Marketing

A spontaneous road-tripper, Hugo loves last-minute foodie adventures but finds dating in Minneapolis dull. He’s looking for a down-to-earth partner to share the ride—while still respecting his need for solo time. After four years single, he’s ready for a real connection. 


Joey Leveille, 35- Physician Associate 

Joey who's been in 11 weddings – but still hasn't found "the one." He's hoping the pods will be his chance to find love with someone family-oriented and empathetic. Just don’t give him a wet willy – that’s a dealbreaker!


Mason Horacen, 33-Cinematographer 

Mason ready to step out from behind the camera and find love. Passionate about his creative career, he's looking for someone equally driven—preferably a skater girl to share in his love for the sport. A big softie at heart, Mason’s tough on the ramp but all about love and loyalty.

Fan Of View:

With the pods about to open, fans are eager to see who will find lasting love and who will be left on read. Netflix promises plenty of drama, heartfelt moments, and maybe even a surprise proposal or two. Will Season 8 deliver another Cameron and Lauren-level love story, or are we in for more messy love triangles?

Tune in on February 14 to see which connections spark and which ones fizzle.
