Love Is Blind Season 9: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
The reality TV phenomenon Love Is Blind continues to captivate audiences with its unique social experiment, where singles seek love and get engaged without ever meeting face-to-face. Following the drama-filled Season 8, fans are eager for details about Love Is Blind Season 9. From release date rumors to cast updates and what to expect, here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season. Love Is Blind Season 9 Release Date Rumours Netflix has yet to confirm an official release date for Love Is Blind Season 9, but the show's consistent release pattern offers clues. Since Season 2, Love Is Blind has typically dropped two seasons annually: one in February or March and another in September or October. Based on this trend, Season 9 is widely expected to premiere in late September or early October 2025. Cast Updates for Love Is Blind Season 9 Details about the Love Is Blind Season 9 cast remain under wraps, as Netflix typically reveals contestants closer to the premiere date. However, Kinetic Content, the production company behind the series, issued casting calls in July 2024 for singles from Denver, alongside other cities like New England, Columbus, Ohio, Atlanta, and Miami. Applications for Denver closed months ago, indicating the cast has already been finalized. Unlike the Season 7 reunion, which introduced three Season 8 contestants, the Season 8 reunion on March 9, 2025, did not reveal any Season 9 participants. What to Expect from Love Is Blind Season 9 After Season 8's controversies, including villainous cast members and a lack of diversity, Season 9 has an opportunity to redeem the series' reputation. Here's what fans can anticipate: 1. A Potential Shake-Up in Dynamics Vanessa Lachey suggested that Season 9 could be 'the most shocking' yet, hinting at unexpected twists driven by Denver's distinct culture. The show may explore new ways to test emotional connections, possibly introducing more diverse backgrounds or unique challenges to keep the experiment fresh. 2. More Successful Love Stories Season 8 left some fans disappointed with its heartbreak and drama. Season 9 could focus on fostering deeper connections, aiming for more couples to make it to the altar. The casting team may prioritize contestants genuinely seeking love, learning from past seasons' casting missteps. 3. Classic Love Is Blind Format Expect the signature Love Is Blind structure: 10 days of pod dates, engagements, a honeymoon-style retreat (possibly in a new destination), and four weeks of real-world challenges before the weddings. Nick and Vanessa Lachey will return as hosts, guiding the singles through the emotional rollercoaster. 4. Drama and Romance While the goal is love, drama is inevitable. From pod love triangles to real-world tests like meeting families and navigating social media rumors, Season 9 will likely deliver the emotional highs and lows that keep viewers hooked.

'Summer House' star West Wilson says it's 'weird' and 'bizarre' to navigate the attention on his personal life
When Summer House star West Wilson was in Toronto earlier this year, he shared with Yahoo Canada that he never watched last season's reunion, where he famously got frazzled having to address his relationship with costar Ciara Miller. This time around for the Summer House Season 9 reunion (on Hayu in Canada), Wilson came prepared with notes. "I don't think I'm very good at funnelling my thoughts," West told Yahoo Canada. "TV kind of helps, ... where everything is condensed." "This show is therapeutic in a way where you kind of have to deal with what's going on." Early in the Summer House reunion, we looked back at how Wilson was greeted by Miller in the house in Season 9, with Wilson also facing questions about what he said to The New York Times about their relationship, defending how he handled the breakup. Wilson apologized to Miller in this season's reunion, but she was quick to point out that if Wilson could comment on their relationship to the media, he should be able to talk to her honestly, face-to-face. While they don't get to a point of close friendship, there was a sense of understanding by the end of the reunion. With Wilson being relatively new to the reality TV space, there's certainly a lot to get comfortable with, not just in terms of sharing ones personal life on TV, but managing reactions and responses from fans of the show, and rumours spreading about who he could be romantically connected to next. "Weird to navigate. It's fun, until it's not," Wilson said. "It's bizarre. And nothing I've really been involved in has been that serious, but it's kind of become talking points, I guess, whether that's my fault or just how the internet works." "It hasn't been dating or breakups or anything. So it's all very juvenile. ...I think because I had a public breakup already, people are going to care no matter what. ... I feel like I'm still learning. A lot of this stuff I think I'm learning it by the day, for better or for worse. ... Now you have to be hyperaware of people being nosy, people doing research, people just caring more than I do." While several Summer House fans weren't on Wilson's side for how he handled the breakup with Miller, one interview he did earlier this year resulted in a lot of praise for the reality TV star and sports reporter. Back in March, Wilson spoke to Uncloseted Media about "manfluencers," toxic masculinity and voting for Kamala Harris in the last U.S. election. Wilson said he was "softly promoting" his liberal stance on political issues in the last American election, but stressed that he really wanted to make "positive" actions in addressing these topics publicly. "When I get negative feedback on stuff like this, ... it always makes me feel better about what I said to begin with," he explained. "So almost kind of like soft-launching where I stood politically, getting shit talk back, kept me moving forward, and more comfortable and confident in what I believe in." "I do think because I'm a white dude who has a cowboy dad and I'm from Missouri, I think a lot of people expect me to be a ... Trump-y redneck. ... I'm not a confrontational person, ... but I think now, it's not even really politics, it's just being a human. A lot of the feedback I've gotten that says, 'Thanks for doing this. Not a lot of people in your position do talk about it.' Made me feel good. If I can do anything positive right now, it's that."

9-1-1 Season 9: Burning Questions We Need Answered This Fall, From Athena's Next Steps to Buck's Big Move
It's been more than two weeks since 9-1-1 wrapped one of its most series-defining seasons yet (for better or worse), but that doesn't mean I've stopped thinking about the 118. In fact, the more time passes, the more time I've had to wonder how Season 9 could play out for each of our our fire-fighting favorites this fall. Without any concrete insight from showrunner Tim Minear (yet), it remains anyone's guess what the future holds for the 118 as they continue to find their way forward in the wake of Bobby's death. So what are we left to do in this situation? Why, wildly speculate, of course! More from TVLine 'Bonkers!': Ginnifer Goodwin Reflects on Once Upon a Time Musical Episode Anniversary - WATCH As Doctor Odyssey's Fate Hangs in the Balance, Joshua Jackson Thanks John Oliver for Viral Season 2 Renewal Plea General Hospital Recasts Michael: Former Y&R Actor Rory Gibson Replaces Chad Duell The season may have ended on a positive note for several characters (Maddie gave birth, Hen and Karen formally adopted Mara, the Diaz boys moved back Los Angeles, etc.), but it also left just as many characters at a crossroads, from Athena selling her house to Buck begrudgingly vacating Eddie's couch. Read on for the eight burning questions I have ahead of Season 9, including at least one I'm sure you'll hate, then drop a comment with your own queries below. This feels like one of the biggest question marks on our list. When Athena put her house on the market and drove away in the Season 8 finale, it felt like more than just a farewell to a plot of land. She was leaving her life with Bobby in the rearview, headed towards a fresh start. But what, exactly, does that mean for Athena? Where will she live? Will she remain a sergeant with the LAPD, or might she follow a new calling? And even though I feel like it's way too soon to think about this… might she still have another great love story left in her someday? Maddie's first pregnancy back in Season 5 led to a powerful storyline about postpartum depression, one which nearly cost Jennifer Love Hewitt's character her life. The Season 8 finale ended with the joyous birth of Maddie and Chimney's son, Robert 'Bobby' Nash Hahn, but it's hard not to worry about that joy being short-lived. Here's hoping Maddie has a much easier time with baby No. 2 — that poor woman has already been through enough! Speaking of people who have been through enough already, Season 8 ended on an extremely positive note for the Wilsons, as Hen and Karen officially adopted Mara into their family. But there's that word, 'family.' 9-1-1 seems to take a special delight in putting this particular family in jeopardy, whether it's via the return of a problematic biological parent, the menacing tactics of a vengeful councilwoman, or just the occasional freak accident that puts one or more of their lives in danger. So while I'm always relieved to see Hen and Karen enjoying even a fleeting moment of happiness, I can't help but wonder what future nightmares Season 9 has in store for them. Once Hen passed on the promotion to captain of the 118, Chimney became the next logical choice to fill Bobby's turnout gear — especially after that powerful finale speech. But just because Hen accidentally called him 'cap,' that doesn't mean the job is officially his… yet. Will he finally sign on the dotted line in the Season 9 premiere, or is this something he'll have to fight for? If the latter, who would he be up against? Season 8 finally gave Buddie fans what they've always wanted — Buck and Eddie living together under the same roof. Unfortunately, that dream turned out to be short-lived, as the finale ended with Buck moving out to find a place of his own. It was obvious that he didn't want to leave, telling his realtor that he liked how lived-in his last place felt, so there's always a chance he could end up back at Chateau Diaz. The only question is: would the show really be that good to us? Like all 9-1-1 viewers, I've had a soft spot for Ravi ever since his 'probie' days. And by the end of Season 8, he was really beginning to feel like a full-time member of the team — nay, a full-time member of the family. Heck, he was front and center for some of the season's most formative moments, from the death of Bobby to the birth of… also Bobby. This leaves me to wonder: when will 9-1-1 finally give actor Anirudh Pisharody a well-deserved promotion, potently revealing more about Ravi in the process? With Rescue: HI-Surf cancelled at Fox, Arielle Kebbel is now available to return to the 118's orbit, and I wouldn't hate that one bit. Besides being a Kebbel stan since the days of John Tucker Must Die, I've always considered Lucy to be an under-explored character with a lot of potential. Plus, once considered a viable love interest for Buck, Lucy would undoubtedly have a memorable reaction to the news of his recent bisexual awakening. Much like the show itself, I've had a complicated relationship with Buddie over the years. The spark between Buck and Eddie has been obvious since the latter joined the 118 in Season 2, but as time progressed, I began to give up hope. When Buck came out as bisexual in Season 7, however, everything changed. The idea of him and Eddie finally seeing what fans have seen for years was no longer a pipe dream, but rather a very real possibility. And Season 8 marked another undeniable milestone on the road to Buddieville, when Maddie asked her brother point blank if he's in love with his best friend. Buck denied having feelings for Eddie, of course, but his actions continue to speak otherwise. And they speak loudly. After cruelly taking Bobby from us, the least 9-1-1 can do now is give us Buddie in exchange. Is that really so much to ask?
