Reality television fans, rejoice! The wildly popular dating experiment Love is Blind is back, headlining a week of exciting new releases on Netflix. The ninth season, which premieres on October 1, is set in Detroit and is poised to capture the hearts and attention of viewers once again. But that’s not all—the streaming service is also dropping a host of compelling dramas and sci-fi adventures to fill your viewing schedule.
In the latest season of Love is Blind, a new cast of 32 men and women will embark on a journey to find their soulmate, sight unseen. Communicating from the confines of their individual “pods,” the contestants must build deep, emotional connections based on conversation alone. The real drama begins when proposals are made, and the newly engaged couples finally meet face-to-face before navigating their relationship in the real world. This season promises all the tears, laughter, and shocking moments fans have come to expect.
For those who prefer scripted storytelling, Netflix is launching House of Guinness, an epic period drama from the makers of Peaky Blinders. This eight-part series explores the fierce succession battle that erupts within the Guinness brewing family in the 1860s. Spanning Dublin and New York, the show is a captivating look at wealth, power, and betrayal. Another new offering is Angela, a six-part Spanish thriller about a woman trapped in an abusive marriage who discovers her husband has even darker secrets.
The week also marks the return of two beloved series in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. Alice in Borderland is back for a thrilling third season, continuing the story of Arisu as he navigates the deadly challenges of an alternate-reality Tokyo. Meanwhile, the second season of Interview With The Vampire arrives on September 30. The series continues its gothic exploration of love and immortality based on Anne Rice’s legendary novels, starring Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid.
From heartwarming and heartbreaking quests for love to intense battles for survival and power, Netflix’s lineup for the week is packed with must-watch content. Whether you start with the romance in the pods or the drama in the boardroom, you’re in for an entertaining weekend.
