The age-old adage ‘love is blind’ took on a new life in 2020 when Netflix introduced a reality dating show that captivated audiences worldwide. Hosted by celebrity couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey, Love is Blind combined the best and worst elements of popular dating shows like Married at First Sight and The Bachelor, creating a bizarre yet irresistible spectacle.
Understanding the Show’s Unique Premise
For those who haven’t seen it, Love is Blind features 60 singles (30 men and 30 women) searching for love. Participants are separated by gender and engage in a series of speed dates in individual rooms called pods. The ultimate goal is to get engaged to someone without ever seeing them, based solely on their conversations.
Surprisingly, six couples made it to the engagement stage in the first season. After getting engaged, the couples briefly meet in person before embarking on their honeymoon. They then have a few weeks to get to know each other before deciding whether to tie the knot. The final episodes reveal which couples chose to stay together, and the show’s unique blend of drama and romance has kept viewers hooked. With three seasons already released and a fourth in production, many fans are eager to learn how they can join the show. Read on to discover the casting process for Love Is Blind.
What It Takes to Apply for Love Is Blind
Unlike many reality shows, the requirements for applying to Love Is Blind are quite simple: applicants must be at least 21 years old. Beyond that, it seems anything goes. Prospective participants must complete an online application found here. The form starts with basic questions about name, age, eye color, and hair color, but delves deeper as you progress.
Applicants will encounter questions about past relationships and current dating habits. Since there’s no save feature, it’s essential to be in the right mindset to answer these questions. Applicants must also provide a photo and links to their social media profiles.
Filling out the application is excellent practice for the show’s pod dates, which often involve numerous questions. Given the fierce competition for a spot on the show, it’s crucial to showcase your personality as much as possible.
What Happens After Submitting the Application?
There’s no information on what happens after applying, but it’s likely that producers will contact those they’re interested in. Due to the high volume of applicants, you may not hear back if you’re not selected. It’s unclear whether you can reapply after being rejected. While the application seems to be the primary method for casting, producers have been known to reach out to potential contestants directly on social media, as they did with season three contestant Cole.
It’s also essential to know the filming location for each season. Season one was filmed in Atlanta, season two in Chicago, and season three in Dallas, Texas.
Although the casting call link is live, it’s unclear whether the show is currently accepting applicants.
Anticipating Love Is Blind Season 4
The first season of Love is Blind was a massive hit, providing viewers with entertaining TV and resulting in two couples still married today. This success has encouraged others to apply, hoping the experiment will work for them too.
However, seasons two and three were less successful, with only Alexa and Brennan and Colleen and Matt still married. Fans hope that season four will produce more lasting couples and less toxicity. Although we know Love Is Blind will return for a fourth season, Netflix has yet to announce an official release date. Some sources speculate that season four could arrive as early as February 2023. In the meantime, fans can catch up on all the drama from the first three seasons of Love is Blind on Netflix.
