The “Love Is Blind” drama continued to heat up during the Season 6 reunion. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the reunion welcomed all five duos who got engaged as well as Sarah Ann, Trevor and Jessica, who all shared very interesting insights.
Considering 11 couples have gotten engaged on “Love Is Blind” and nine are still married, the series has been a successful experiment for most, including this season’s Johnny and Amy, who got married during the finale — and their families are still closer than ever.
They did eventually discuss birth control and admitted that condoms were an option — as many viewers asked. Johnny admitted that he was very uneducated on birth control going on the show and she never went on it.
Laura, Jeramy and Sarah Ann‘s love triangle is a mess
Jeramy and Laura broke up before the altar during the season after he stayed out until 5 a.

Love Is Blind isn’t the only reality series that Chris Coelen came up with. He has quite a few hit reality shows on Netflix, including Married at First Sight. Because of this, he might know better than anyone what the differences are between the shows.

Married at First Sight and Love Is Blind both aim to see if two complete strangers can grow to love each other. But the Netflix projects go about this experiment in two different ways. In Married at First Sight, the contestants start off already married, and determine if their marriage will work out. In Love Is Blind, contestants have to feel out their potential partners without knowing what they look like.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Coelen went further into the differences between the two reality shows.

It’s a bit of a reversal for the two execs: In 2010, Riegg joined NBC as vice president of alternative series & development, reporting to the heads of alternative programming there, who in turn reported to Gaspin.
It’s a return to the executive ranks for Gaspin, who most recently ran Gaspin Media as president. It was there that his output included Netflix’s “The Tinder Swindler,” as well as its “Rhythm & Flow.” His other credits included “The First Lady.”

The pair were part of the first group of people to take part in Netflix’s blind dating experiment, which was filmed in 2018 and aired in 2020.

With just a few episodes left, we’re nearing the end of Love is Blind Season 5.
As with past seasons, Love is Blind Season 5 sees contestants getting to know each other through conversation only in “pods”. If sparks fly in the pods, couples can propose marriage and then have the chance to lay eyes on each other. This kicks off a few weeks of living together before the couple can decide to break it off or tie the knot.

Netflix has partnered with the Handy Foundation, an organization that connects below-the-line workers to job opportunities in the entertainment industry, on a new program focused on representation among assistant editors and production coordinators.
Netflix and the Handy Foundation began piloting this program in 2022, helping train and identify talent for potential job opportunities on Netflix projects. Among the programs where trainees have worked include “Selling the O.C.,” “The Circle” and “Perfect Match,” all popular unscripted series.
The career-building initiative is split into two tracks: an apprentice and assistant editors program, which provides a springboard toward future assistant editor roles and equips participants with post-production experience; and a production coordinator program which is a pipeline to a career in production management.
“We created the Netflix Fund for Creative Equity to build new pathways for underrepresented communities and support the organizations committed to creating a more equitable environment within entertainment,” said Tiffany Burrell-Lewis,...

On April 16, Netflix expected to deliver the second live telecast in the streamer’s history — a reunion special for Love Is Blind. An epilogue of sorts to the blind dating competition’s fourth season, it seemed like a relatively low-stakes exercise for the platform’s latest technology. But when an internal bug kept the episode from airing until the next day, it became apparent that stakes were, in reality, quite high. Fans flocked to social media in disappointment and collectively lost their minds. “I lost my mind,” recalls Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen. “I was sitting in front of my TV like, ‘What is happening? Give me the updates. What’s going on?’ “
For those sleeping on Love Is Blind, the debacle proved its massive and still-ascendent popularity. It’s easily the most successful unscripted series in Netflix history, spending more days (131) in its U.S. top 10 over the...

Kinetic Content owns the reality space for relationship shows. From “Married at First Sight” and “Love Is Blind” to “The Ultimatum” and “Perfect Match,” the production company knows what viewers want. And now, they’re branching out.
In early 2022, Kinetic EVP and co-head of development Karrie Wolfe read a story about how America’s love for “Yellowstone” was helping launch professional bull riding (Pbr) as a team sport. Last year, the sport launched a team series, creating a whole new world for the sport — and for Wolfe.
“You have these billionaires that were bringing together these amazing bull riders, and it was actually happening. There were eight new franchises being established, and they were going to be starting this format, these competitions in July — there was going to be a draft,” Wolfe says. “There was this perfect storm happening where there was this craving for Americana, the Western culture and...

The last two decades have seen a swath of reality dating shows sweep on — and sometimes off — TV screens, with series like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Married at First Sight, Love Island, Are You the One?, FBoy Island and 90-Day Fiancé garnering notable and even rabid followings.
But much of that programming, despite ongoing efforts to racially diversify casting, has largely reflected one type of relationship: straight couples. Of course, there’s also been a handful of series — Logo TV’s Finding Prince Charming, Bravo’s Boy Meets Boys, Max’s 12 Dates of Christmas and one entire season of Are You the One? — that have featured either entirely gay or a notable number of LGBTQ contestants.
But mostly queer people are sprinkled in if they’re present at all (think Dating Around, Ex on the Beach, Bachelor in Paradise and The One That Got Away), a piece of a larger...

Netflix is set to give its hit reality series “Love Is Blind” a German-language adaptation. The format makeover, currently in production, will bring together singletons in Germany, Austria and Swiss who have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating. Netflix is rolling off the success of “Too Hot To Handle: Germany.”
As part of the format, 30 singles begin this 10-episode show by talking to potential partners without being distracted by the other person’s appearance. They then propose to their chosen partner and only then see their fiancé for the first time. Back in the real world, couples will try to complement their emotional bond with a physical one as they plan their wedding day together.
Netflix is once again working with its German production partner Redseven Entertainment and both companies are currently casting for the series.

According to Page Six, one fan wrote, “Is Vanessa always like that? The reunion was embarrassing for her Imo.”
“They were the nicest humans during my experience,” Jansen replied.
The 33-year-old real estate broker also shared that his late mother, who passed last October, “loved Vanessa.” “And Nick shot the s–t with us talking football etc,” Jansen wrote. “They were extremely nice.”

“We hate when these things happen, but we’ll learn from it and will get better,” co-ceo Greg Peters said today on Netflix’s Q1 earnings video of the Love Is Blind Snafu. “We do have the fundamental infrastructure that we need,” Peters added, and noted “the good news is that you know ultimately 6.5 million viewers watched and enjoyed the show.”

Paramount+ is the most recent streaming service to attempt to bring the cult film to TV. Amazon Studios tried to turn the movie into a series with the original cast in 2015, but Rickman’s death halted the project.

Netflix plans to phase in “paid sharing” — the company’s preferred term for cracking down on the loaning of login credentials — in the U.S. in the coming weeks.
The U.S. debut during the second quarter (April through June) is part of a “broad rollout” across the world in the current quarter, the company said in its quarterly letter to shareholders. “In Q1, we launched paid sharing in four countries and are pleased with the results,” the letter said.
The news was delivered along with a mixed batch of first-quarter financial results, with subscriber gains and revenue coming in a bit shy of Wall Street expectations and earnings per share a bit better than expected.
The decision to finally lower the financial boom on customers for sharing passwords followed a period of many years when the company winked at the practice as it was gaining scale. In recent years,...

Netflix delivered a mixed set of results for the first quarter, edging Wall Street analysts’ estimates for earnings per share but falling short in other key categories.
The consensus expectation of Wall Street analysts was for earnings per share of $2.86, revenue of $8.18 billion and a gain of 2.26 million net paid subscribers. Netflix reported Eps of $2.88, revenue of $8.16 billion and an increase of $1.75 million subscribers.
Free cash flow zoomed to $2.1 billion compared with $800 million in the year-ago quarter. In the streaming field, Netflix’s ability to generate positive cash flow has become a major point of differentiation. While rivals like Disney+, Max and Paramount+ have racked up sizable subscriber numbers, they are struggling to get out of red numbers and into the black. Netflix has raised its full-year projection for free cash flow to $3.5 billion from an earlier target of $3 billion, well ahead of the 2022 tally of $1.5 billion.

Netflix said Tuesday that it’s closing down its original DVD-by-mail business, marking the end of an era as it focuses on retooling its streaming offerings including a new ad-supported plan.
“To everyone who ever added a DVD to their queue or waited by the mailbox for a red envelope to arrive: thank you,” CEO Ted Sarandos wrote in a blog post today titled “Netflix DVD – The Final Season.”
The last discs will be mailed out September 29, and must be returned by October 27. Final bills will go out in August. Service to subscribers with DVD and streaming accounts won’t be affected.
“After an incredible 25-year run, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that’s going to become increasingly difficult.

Netflix’s first attempt at live programming, Chris Rock’s “Selective Outrage,” went off almost without a hitch. Its second try, a live-reunion special for popular reality-dating series “Love Is Blind,” did not.
The “Love Is Blind: Live Reunion” was set to stream live at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt. An IndieWire employee was ready to watch, but his web browser rerouted from his Netflix queue to an error message reading: “Pardon the interruption. We’re having trouble playing Netflix. Please check your internet and try again.” After refreshing, the error message remained for the next 30 minutes. By then, like probably many, he gave up and watched “Succession.”
Nine minutes into our hero’s wait, the main Netflix Twitter account noted the delay.

The reunion special was set to go live at 5 p.m. Pt on Netflix, bringing an end to the hugely popular reality series’ fourth season. However, after unspecified “technical difficulties” led to more than an hour delay, Netflix said in a statement via social media that the special would no longer be airing live.
Lachey assured viewers that despite the delay they “haven’t missed a thing.”
