Love Is Blind Brazil is back for Season 5 with a new twist. This time around, all the singles searching for a soulmate are 50 years old and up, which is why this season also comes with a new title: Love Is Blind Brazil: Never Too Late.
For the uninitiated: In Love Is Blind, singles date through a wall in hopes of finding the one without sight unseen. They only meet in person after getting engaged, right before they fly away for a luxury vacation. Then it’s time to return to their regular lives in the real world. Every step tests the couples’ relationships in a different way as they identify shared values and personality clashes, face new challenges, and ultimately decide if their emotional ties can last.
But now that a new age group is entering the pods for the first time ever, who knows what’s in store. Will these mature singles bring a more level-headed approach to speed dating, or will they get into just as much drama as their younger counterparts?
Keep reading for everything you need to know about Love Is Blind Brazil: Never Too Late and to meet the pod squad of a certain age.
Love Is Blind Brazil: Never Too Late launches on Sept. 10. Then tune in every Wednesday for new episodes tracking your favorite singles’ journeys from the pods, to a luxury vacation, and into the real world.
A lot is changing this season, but at least one thing remains the same: Brazilian actor and producer Klebber Toledo and his wife, model and TV presenter Camila Queiroz, will return to their hosting duties.
“The most beautiful thing about this season is seeing that feelings remain the same at any age. Insecurities, doubts, passions ... All of this is part of love, whether at 30 or 60,” says Queiroz. Adds Toledo, “This edition shows that falling in love is always an adventure. Participants live everything intensely, just like anyone else who is open to love. There is no age for that.”
