Casting Call: Georgia Couples Sought For ‘Married At First Sight’ Reality Show

Lifetime has a hit on its hands with the reality TV show “Married At First Sight.” The show is about people who literally get married the first time they see each other.

Producers for the show are looking to cast Georgia couples for the reality docu-series. Filming will occur this summer, beginning around the Fourth of July.

‘Married at First Sight’ Atlanta casting call

According to the casting call, “We are seeking couples whose parents, family, and/or friends are strongly opposed to their relationship! The show will be shot over a six-week period in your hometown starting on 7/2/18 through 8/11/18.”

“Married at First Sight” is actually based on a Danish show, “Married…” In the experiment, six people agree to participate in legal marriages with a complete stranger. Specialists — including a spiritualist, a relationship coach and a sociologist — use scientific matchmaking methods to determine each couple, who will not have met or had contact with each other until the wedding day.

The series then documents the relationships, including honeymoons and other relatable events of married life. After several weeks, each couple must decide whether to remain together or go their individual ways.

This season’s show is being cast by Hylton Casting. Apply here.
