Love Is Blind Live Reunion Dogged by Technical Difficulties; Netflix Promises to Stream It ‘Soon as Possible’
That was the official word from Netflix on Sunday evening, as Love Is Blind fans (sorta-)patiently waited for Season 4’s live reunion special to start streaming.
Originally set to begin at 8/7c, Love Is Blind Live Reunion had yet to get underway as of 22 41 55+ minutes after the hour, though Netflix with its first tweet suggested it would be just a 15-minute or so delay. The streaming giant also tweeted its “promise” that the special “will be worth the wait.”
UPDATE: The reunion conversation eventually got underway about 75 minutes late, but was no longer being presented live. “[W]e are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned,” Netflix tweeted. “We’re filming it now and we’ll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible.” (Some folks, though, are reportedly able to watch it live, as we speak — including one TVLine editor. Hmmm.)
The live reunion, hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, is the first official sit-down with the cast to unpack the season’s biggest moments. And there’s a lot to unpack.
Season 4 was a historic one, with three couples saying “I do” in Friday’s season finale — the most in the series’ history. Cast member Zack also made history when he proposed to Irina, before breaking things off and asking for a redo with another cast member, Bliss. Fans are hoping not only for an update from Zack and Bliss, but to also hear from Irina since she served as the season’s villain.
The live event will also give details on how the fan favorite couple, Tiffany and Brett, have been doing since their wedding day.
The delayed start had the show’s fans on Twitter in a frenzy, sharing pretty hilarious, admittedly overreacting takes on this great ignominy.

It’s 9:05 and I still can’t watch Love is Blind live reunion. I’ve been waiting for weeks for this! Why would they promote such a big event if they couldn’t deliver! I understand being late, but not working at all! What is going on!
Lol, you have waited literally two days. The final episode for this season aired on Friday, ma’am. Today is Sunday. Live shows aren’t foolproof. Take a chill pill, they’ll put it out eventually and you will live to whine another day.
Moon landing live streamed in 1969. What the heck, Neflix! Anticlimactic to say the least.
Reminds me of just last night, Apple TV went down for two hours during peak MLS Season Pass viewing….. I’m with Blockbusters VHS, I’ve never missed a live event for technical difficulties until now!!
How do they plan to stream the SAG Awards next year if they can’t handle a simple reality show?
