Spoilers for all of Love Is Blind season 8 ahead. Get ready, reality TV fans: Love is Blind season 8 is here to deliver a hearty helping of "Midwest nice." Netflix's flagship dating show is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, after seven seasons of jaw-dropping drama, emotional weddings, and a disastrous live finale that fans won't let them forget. (As well as a fair amount of lawsuits.)

For its eighth season, the "social experiment" headed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where it gathered its largest cast yet of 32 people ready to walk down the aisle, as stated by Netflix's Tudum. As always, several couples made it to the altar where they decided to say "I do" or "I don't," during the March 7 finale. Though this season leaned more toward drama than happily-ever-afters, Netflix has also confirmed that one of the couples who got engaged off-screen is still together a year later.
