Along with a dramatic trailer, Netflix has unveiled the full cast for ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 5, which will premiere on September 22.

A new batch of singles is ready for a lifelong commitment Love is blind season 5 — but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy.

In the upcoming fifth season of the hit Netflix series, singles from Houston will embark on an unconventional journey for love and decide to get married without ever seeing their partners.

“In the most shocking season yet, the singles face new challenges, unexpected twists and surprising turns that will test their personal resolve and the strength of their relationships, more than ever before,” reads the official Netflix synopsis.

The synopsis continues: “Even if the couples can forge a bond strong enough to become unexpectedly engaged, can their love survive the challenges that await them in the outside world—including protective families, skeptical friends, and exes they thought would be left behind?”

In a new trailer for the series, which debuted Thursday, the hopefuls open up about their biggest insecurities. For Izzy, it’s his “bald head” while Johnie struggles to make her past sound like “8,000 walking red flags.”

Aaliyah admits, “Letting someone in is really scary.”

Amidst the unprecedented proposals, there was no shortage of drama with Uche telling his co-star, “She planned for us both to be here because she couldn’t let me go.”

Taylor said in the confessional that tying up the two men was “just a little awkward.”

Protective family members also jump in and ask questions about age and wealth. One relative asks, “I’m just wondering what a 30-year-old would be interested in a 24-year-old.”

Another parent says, “Love is blind, I get that, but sometimes love wants to fly first class,” and Milton responds with a one-word response, “Wow.”

However, hope is not entirely lost as Izzy says, “Everything is falling into place right now,” while Johnie says, “The road to love is not a straight line.”

Lydia is ready to move forward without her insecurities holding her back, saying, “I’ve been called too many names in the past. I think I’m in the right measure.”
