'Love Is Blind' Boston Cast Revealed Before Season 11

Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' heads to Boston for Season 11, premiering October 14 with 30 New England singles.

Netflix has set Season 11 of "Love Is Blind" in Boston, a first for the franchise, with a premiere date of October 14. The streaming service announced the date with the tagline "Boston's never seen this much tea," and Nick and Vanessa Lachey are returning as hosts, according to Enterprise News and Boston's ROCK 92.9. The Boston Globe reports the season debuts with five episodes, following 30 New Englanders through the show's four-phase experiment.

The Boston edition is a landmark: the franchise's Season 11 follows its 10th season in Ohio, which ended with two marriages, per Enterprise News. That New England is finally getting its own season is notable because, as ROCK 92.9 recounts, the initial announcement drew acerbic local reactions, with commenters joking it would be "a bunch of CT and NY transplants" and demanding "3rd generationers from Dedham." Casting for the Boston season began back in 2024, with residents across New England invited to apply, so the reveal has been a long time coming.

The Boston Globe has revealed the full Season 11 cast, spanning beekeepers, counselors and more. The men include yacht captain Blake Carver, 38; HR generalist Cameron "Cam" Halloran, 29; software engineer Amenawon "Iman" Johnson, 34; wine sales consultant Mark Colantonio, 37; beekeeper Matt Waldrip, 37; retired pro-baseball player Scott Shuman, 38; and 11 others.

Enterprise News outlines the experiment: hopeful singles talk through a glowing wall and choose someone to marry without ever meeting face-to-face. Per Netflix's press release quoted by the outlet, engaged couples then move in together, plan weddings and test whether their physical connections match the emotional bonds formed in the pods. The Boston Globe details the phases — pod speed-dating, a tropical retreat, living together in Boston, then saying "I do" or "I don't" on the wedding day.

According to Enterprise News, TikTok users in March 2025 reported sightings of film crews and couples holding the show's signature gold cups in Boston, fueling rumors that the Massachusetts capital was next. Users specifically reported filming at Loco in Southie, though neither Netflix nor Loco confirmed at the time, and the outlet notes the show has yet to confirm any filming locations. A cast list was expected weeks before airing, per the outlet, and The Boston Globe has now delivered it.

Season 11 arrives on Wednesday, October 14, and Enterprise News says episodes will likely drop in weekly batches over several weeks this fall, matching the franchise's usual release pattern. The Boston Globe frames this as a season of "wicked-high stakes and drama" for the first Boston-based installment. Fans can also mark the nearby release of Chumbak Part 2, which India Today reports premieres on Netflix October 1 with eight episodes, two weeks before Boston's pods open.
