The Netflix dating experiment show places singles in a “pod” and only allows them to talk to their potential future husband/wife. Once they say “I do,” they meet their match face-to-face and try to grow their engagement in the real world. The first three seasons have taken place in big cities like Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas. Not only is the show casting in Tampa for their next season, they are also considering other cities, including: Washington D.C., Detroit, and Charlotte.

So how to you make it on the show? Submit your casting application at loveisblind.castingcrane.com. The application asks you a series of questions about your dating life and what you look for in a partner. You’ll also need to upload a 15 second video telling the producers why you’re ready to find love in the pods.

It’s no surprise that the show chose Tampa as one of it’s casting destinations. Tampa has been picked up on another Netflix special called “Selling Tampa.” This spin-off of “Selling Sunset” shows agents of an all-female, Black-owned real estate business sell hot waterfront properties in Tampa.
