Netflix's dating show "Love is Blind" now casting in Miami

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

Why it matters: If Miami is picked for a season, we'll be treated to lots of entertaining internet gossip as 30 lucky contestants become local celebrities.

How it works : Fifteen men and 15 women, all from the same 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 person 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 either will get married or reject each other at the altar.

What to know: The lengthy application includes questions like "Why do you think you are single?" and "Have you ever been judged in previous relationships for something superficial?"

• Applicants must also submit all their social media handles.

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

• And though Love is Blind reportedly pays contestants around $1,000 per week, couples who get married don't receive any prize (other than love).
• The seventh season, set in Washington D.C. , is expected this fall.
