It’s hard to believe Love Is Blind Season 6 is right around the corner. It feels like just yesterday that Season 5 ended. Despite the show’s many controversies, no one can deny its broad appeal, becoming Netflix’s first major reality TV hit. Speaking of controversy, Season 5 was full of it.
Netflix is likely hoping that Season 6 will be a chance to start fresh with a Valentine’s Day airdate. On Wednesday, January 17, Netflix dropped the details on its cast of 30 new hopefuls from Charlotte, North Carolina. Based on these details, Season 6 might be the show’s most diverse cast yet.
Contestants’ ages range from 25 to 37, and this season will feature the show’s first single mother, Jessica. Of her perfect match, Jessica said, “He would have to have the understanding that my daughter and even possibly our future children would always come first.” See the details of the other cast members below.

The same commenter added, “I want to see people actually looking for love and not popularity!!”
Another viewer commented, “This show is COOKED. They not serious about dating they wanna be famous ?” And another still said, “They all seem like real, genuine people,” with a strong hint of sarcasm. Here’s hoping this season shakes out better than the last.
