The hit Netflix reality series Love Is Blind is bringing its casting search to Philadelphia. According to a recent Instagram announcement by the show’s production company, Kinetic Content, they are looking for “all single men and women who are brave, open-minded, and ready for a committed relationship.”

In addition to Philadelphia, casting calls are also open for Austin (Texas), St. Louis (Missouri), New Orleans (Louisiana), and Charleston (South Carolina).

The series has aired eight seasons so far, with the ninth—filmed in Denver—scheduled to premiere on October 1. The show’s unique format has contestants date without ever seeing each other, communicating only through voice in private “pods” over the course of a week. If a connection is strong enough, they may get engaged and meet face-to-face for the first time.

Hosted by celebrity couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey, Love Is Blind has led to six marriages during its first three seasons.

How to Apply in Philadelphia

While there’s no official word on whether a future season will be filmed in Philadelphia, the city’s selection hints at potential plans—especially as it prepares to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

Interested singles can apply through a 72-question form linked in Kinetic’s casting post. The application dives into relationship goals, family plans, hobbies, and personal values—asking everything from “Do you want children?” to “What do you bring to the table?”

One standout question: “Is finding love more important to you than being on television or gaining a social media following? Be honest.”

Applicants should also note that anyone currently running for public office is ineligible to apply.
