"Love is Blind," the popular Netflix reality dating show and social experiment, is now casting in Atlanta, according to a post by its production company Kinetic Content.

How it works: Fifteen men and 15 women, all from the same metro area, are put into separate "pods" where they can talk to — but not see — their date. The goal is to fall in love and get engaged without ever knowing what the other looks like.

Then, the engaged couple meets in person, goes on a trip with the other couples and moves to an apartment in the city they live in for four weeks.
At the end, the couple will get married or reject each other at the altar.

Of note: Though Love is Blind reportedly pays contestants around $1,000/week, couples who get married don't receive any prize (other than love).

What to know: The lengthy application includes questions like "Why do you think you are single? and "Who are your relationship role models and why?"

Applicants must also submit all their social media handles.

Reality check: After four years and six completed seasons of the show since 2020, nine of the 30 engaged couples got married and were still together, Variety reported in March.

The seventh season, set in Washington D.C., is expected this fall.
