When the reunion airs on Sunday, all the headline-worthy incidents throughout the season will be discussed by the cast members.
The show's creator, Chris Coelen shared insight into why the Live broadcast of the season 4 reunion failed. He called it the main reason they didn't plan on having any more live reunions.
“It was Netflix’s idea to do a live reunion. They came to us, and we all had some misgivings about it. Normally in that situation, I’d be in the control room. I’d be in the host’s ear. And I wasn’t. I lost my mind. I was sitting in front of my TV like, ‘What is happening? Give me the updates. What’s going on?’” Chris told The Hollywood Reporter.
He also noted that it was a chaotic night but that he was an optimist and claimed that something good did come out of the reunion.
“Ultimately, the great thing that came out of that night was it showed how much significant interest there is in Love Is Blind. I really appreciated that,” he said.
Fans can catch the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion on Sunday, October 15 on Netflix.
