Love Is Blind: Netherlands Cast: Singles, Hosts, Contestants and Netflix Guide

Love Is Blind: Netherlands brings 30 Dutch singles into the pods for a new local edition of Netflix’s dating experiment. The first batch premieres on September 30, 2026, hosted by Nicolette van Dam and Bas Smit. Netflix has already revealed all 15 women and 15 men, making this the most useful pre-premiere cast guide for viewers who want the names, ages, jobs, hosts and release schedule in one place.

Who is in the Love Is Blind: Netherlands cast?

Netflix has announced 30 singles for the first Dutch season. The group includes lawyers, recruiters, marketers, entrepreneurs, a nurse, a chef, a police chief, a photographer and several people working in technology, healthcare and business. That variety matters because the format begins with conversation rather than appearance, so jobs, values and life goals often become early talking points in the pods.

Who hosts Love Is Blind: Netherlands?

Nicolette van Dam and Bas Smit host the Dutch edition. Netflix introduced the celebrity couple as the faces of the series when it announced the September 30 premiere. They guide viewers through the experiment as the singles move from pod dates to engagements, in-person meetings, cohabitation and wedding decisions.

When do new Love Is Blind: Netherlands episodes come out?

Netflix is releasing the season in batches rather than all at once. Episodes 1–5 arrive September 30, episodes 6–8 arrive October 7, and episode 9 arrives October 14. A reunion episode is also planned, but Netflix had not announced its date when this guide was prepared.

How does the Netherlands edition work?

The format follows the core Love Is Blind experiment. The singles date from separate pods and cannot see the person on the other side. If a pair builds a strong enough connection, they can become engaged before meeting face-to-face. The engaged couples then test the relationship outside the pods through travel, daily life and wedding planning before deciding whether to marry.

What to watch for after the premiere

Before September 30, the most useful search intent is cast discovery: names, ages, occupations and hosts. After launch, this page should be updated with confirmed couples, engagements, breakups and wedding outcomes instead of creating duplicate cast URLs. That keeps the page fresh and gives returning readers a single source for the developing season.
