Love is Blind producers are reportedly using dating apps to scout individuals from New York City to be featured on the Netflix reality show, possibly indicating that the series' third season will be based in the Big Apple. Netflix found a hit reality show in Love is Blind, which immediately attracted audiences that love shows like The Bachelor and 90 Day Fiance. Following the very successful first season, Netflix renewed Love is Blind for two more seasons, but the COVID-19 outbreak put in question whether season 2 could be filmed right away. However, a few states have been slowly reopening for business, which encouraged the team behind Love is Blind to start production on season 2 right away.

It has already been confirmed that Love is Blind season 2 will take place in Chicago and is welcoming applicants of all sexual orientations. Given that the show has been a massive success that catapulted the public profiles of all of the people involved, producers are having a much more diligent casting process for season 2, making sure that they are attracting individuals who actually want to find love and get married, not simply start a career in reality television. Now, new reports are showing just how far the casting team is going to find good suitors, and have even begun to branch out to other cities.

According to The Cutthat Love is Blind casting producers have been scouting singles in New York City to possibly appear on the show. It is unclear if the producers are looking into New Yorkers for season 2 even though they don't live in Chicago, or if the casting directors are already eyeing candidates for the series' scheduled third season. When reached for comment, Netflix representatives did not respond to the publication. Nonetheless, this is big news for any single person who lives in NYC and would like to find love through the series.

Given that the premise of Love is Blind is for several contestants to find love and get married, it is of utmost importance for every person on a season to live in the same city or be willing to move there. Love is Blind season 1 took place in Atlanta, which is a city that Netflix has had an extensive relationship with. After all, the Queer Eye season 1 headquarters was also located in Atlanta, and the Fab Five drove around the state of Georgia to help out their heroes.

Love is Blind applicants should stay tuned for new developments, but it is certainly good news that casting producers are looking in more than one place for potential contestants. Hopefully, this will also contribute to the diversity of the casts on seasons 2 and 3.
