It appears like Netflix was up to something after the release of “Love is Blind: The Reunion,” a snoozefest that ignored key details about the lives of participants of season two. Season three starts fresh, providing us with a new batch of bachelors and bachelorettes and more pod drama.

It follows two best friends who are newly admitted to the school and are placed on different tracks, with one set to become a hero and the other a villain.

The new season is set in ‘80s New York, and it follows the AIDS epidemic, a topic that creator Ryan Murphy has tackled in his previous work. Of course, it’s AHS, so there’s a serial killer.
