A Trash Reality Netflix Favorite Is Coming To Austin

Love Is Blind has been to Texas before. Dallas brought the drama, Houston brought the heartbreak. But now, for the first time ever, Netflix is pointing its reality TV cameras at Austin. And if you think you’ve seen what Texas has to offer, buckle up, because Austin isn’t exactly your typical boots-and-BBQ kind of town.

This is Texas with oat milk. Texas that knows its rising sign. Texas that probably already matched with you on Bumble and ghosted you after three back-to-back coffee dates. So yeah, when Love Is Blind rolls into Austin, it’s not just another season. It’s a whole new genre.

The Mess Is Coming, And We’ll Be Watching

I’ll admit, I got hooked on the first season of Love Is Blind. Thought I’d tune in for a laugh, maybe see a few strangers propose through a wall, and then suddenly I’m four episodes deep, emotionally invested, and shouting, “DON’T DO IT” at the TV. But I don’t even feel guilty, because people like my cohost Iris exist. Iris is a proud fan of trash TV in general. She watches this kind of emotional carnage like it’s high art. Compared to that, I’m practically watching documentaries.

Now, with the show officially casting in Austin, I’m already picturing what this season is going to look like. A guy who makes custom kombucha proposing to a woman who runs a crystal healing business out of her van. Two people trauma-bonding over their shared dislike of non-organic produce. Someone crying in a pod because their partner "doesn’t understand their gluten-free lifestyle." And honestly? I can’t wait.

Austin Singles, It’s Your Time (to Overshare on National TV)

The show’s producers say they’re looking for singles who are brave, open-minded, and ready for a committed relationship. If that sounds like you or if you’ve just always dreamed of getting dumped on Netflix, this could be your moment.

Casting director @austinunscripted confirmed the news on TikTok and is already connecting locals with producers. This is Austin’s debut season, and if history’s any indication, it’s going to be a wild ride. Just know: if you fall in love in a pod and then ruin it all with one badly-timed queso comment, we will be talking about it on-air.

So... Is Love Blind, Or Just Wearing Cowboy Boots?

With Austin’s unique blend of weirdness, wellness, and just the right amount of delusion, this season might be the one that finally convinces me to come back to the show. At least for a few episodes. Or, let’s be honest, all of them.

So grab your gold wine glass and get ready. Reality TV is about to go full Texas, but like, the cool, artsy part.
