‘Love Is Blind’: Behind The Scenes Of Netflix’s Hit Reality Series

Is Love truly blind? That's the question that Netflix tackles in its new series "Love Is Blind."

The dating series takes a group of singles and lets them engage with each other in one-on-one in pods, with no distractions from the outside world, in hopes of forming a romantic emotional connection. Sounds pretty simple, right? Until you throw in the fact that these singles have no idea what their potential mate looks like until they become engaged.

Afterward, the couples meet and are whisked away to a tropical getaway to form a physical connection before the craziness of the real-world and their wedding -- a mere four weeks later -- hits.

The three-week, 10-part series, hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey, hit the streaming service on February 13 and while there is no denying that viewers have become deeply infatuated with the blossoming love stories let's just say we still have some questions. Thankfully, series creator and executive producer Chris Coelen has all answers and he's spilling the tea.

As for what prompted this crazy idea of a show in the first place, Coelen, who is also behind "Married At First Sight," revealed, "There have been many scientific studies that talk about the key to long-term relationship success being emotional connection and not physical attraction" and out of discussions on how to achieve that "Love Is Blind" was born.

For those wondering about the timeline of the relationships, Coelen explained to E! News that "the cast spent 10 days in the pods," meaning they had 10 days to determine if they had a connection meaningful enough to get engaged. To kick things off the cast engaged in a "speed-dating style rotation, with everyone spending 8-10 minutes with each person of the opposite sex." After that, they were given the freedom to choose.

"They were allowed to talk to anyone at any time that they wanted to. They chose the people they wanted to talk to," Coelen said.

From there, couples had four weeks to figure out things in the real world like meeting family and friends, discussing financial situations, and all the other not so lovey-dovey -- but important -- stuff that would help them determine if they should follow through with their impending marriage.

Speaking of marriage, is it real for those couples who get hitched in the end. The answer may or may not be surprising.

"Yes, it's legal," Coelen told the Los Angeles Times.

"Love Is Blind" is streaming now on Netflix, the finale drops February 27.
