The hit Netflix reality dating series has returned to the Peach State for casting. Producers are seeking unmarried Georgia residents ready to test whether emotional connection can outweigh physical attraction in the show’s signature “pods” experiment. Some reports specifically link the call to Season 11.
The Experiment, Explained
In Love Is Blind, singles spend about 10 days getting to know potential partners through walls in private pods. They talk, form bonds, and can propose marriage—all without ever seeing each other. Engaged couples then meet face-to-face, take a vacation together, move in with each other back home, and ultimately decide at the altar whether to marry.
Netflix is casting Georgia singles for a future season of Love Is Blind, with applications now open for people seeking a serious relationship
Hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey guide the process. The show’s first season filmed in Atlanta and produced lasting relationships, most notably Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, who remain married, have a child, and continue as popular figures associated with the series. Amber Pike and Matt Barnett also married on the show and have stayed together.
Who Can Apply
Key eligibility requirements reported across casting announcements include:
- Being at least 21 years old
- Being single (not in a committed intimate or monogamous relationship, and not married or in the process of divorce/annulment)
- Legal U.S. residency
- Holding a valid government-issued passport
- Ability to provide two forms of identification verifying age and identity
- Not being a Netflix employee or currently running for public office
Casting emphasizes people who are “brave, open-minded, and ready for a committed relationship” and who prioritize finding genuine love over fame or social media clout. The application process is thorough: an initial lengthy questionnaire (covering personal background, relationship history, values, hobbies, views on children, and more), photos and/or a short video, followed for finalists by deeper compatibility questions, background checks, and psychological evaluations.
How to Apply
Applications are accepted through the official casting site associated with Kinetic Content (the production company), commonly linked as libcasting.com or casting.kineticcontent.com/LoveIsBlind/. Kinetic Content Casting has promoted the Georgia call on Instagram, inviting singles “tired of dating apps, and ready to prove that love is actually blind.”
No official deadline has been widely announced, and details on exact filming timelines or the final number of contestants remain unconfirmed. An upcoming season set in Boston is expected to debut in the fall, while the Georgia casting is positioned for a future installment.
Georgia’s return to the Love Is Blind map builds on the show’s roots in Atlanta and the proven success of some of its earliest couples. For singles in the state who are serious about finding a lifelong partner and open to an unconventional path, the pods are once again accepting applications. Those interested should review the full requirements and apply promptly through the official channels.
Because of the steady flow of movie and TV productions, Atlanta has been called the Hollywood of the South and it’s not just a label.. If you want to be an actor, the city has classes you can take as well as places that provide headshots and more. You can also audition at numerous casting calls to build your movie and TV reel.

Netflix has officially unveiled the first-look photos for its sequel series to the beloved 1980s/90s sitcom A Different World, offering fans a vibrant glimpse of both the new generation of Hillman College students and the returning original cast members. The 10-episode series, which wrapped this spring, is set to premiere on Thursday, September 24, 2026—exactly 39 years after the original show’s debut on NBC.
The Story Continues at Hillman
Filmed in Atlanta, the new series centers on Deborah Wayne (played by Tony Award winner Maleah Joi Moon), the lovingly sheltered youngest daughter of Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne. Described as a free spirit with a flair for the spotlight, a big heart, and a path she’s still figuring out, Deborah navigates life at the iconic HBCU while surrounded by a diverse new ensemble that reflects the breadth of Black life on campus.
Joining her are:
- Rashida Duvall (Alijah Kai) — a first-generation criminal justice major.
- Shaquille Johnson (Cornell Young IV) — a five-star athlete embracing legacy.
- Amir Rodale (Jordan Aaron Hall) — a sharp psychology major who excels at helping others but struggles with his own issues.
- Hazel Henry (Kennedi Reece) — a church-raised small-town girl defining her own values.
- Kojo Achebe (Chibuikem Uche) — a Ghanaian-Nigerian fashion entrepreneur finding his courage.
The series is created, showrun, written, and executive produced by Felicia Pride, with Debbie Allen (a key producer and director from the original) serving as EP and director. Additional executive producers include Tom Werner, Reggie Rock Bythewood, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Mandy Summers.
Returning Favorites
Seven beloved alumni are reprising their roles:
- Jasmine Guy as Whitley Gilbert
- Kadeem Hardison as Dwayne Wayne
- Cree Summer as Freddie Brooks
- Darryl M. Bell as Ron Johnson
- Charnele Brown as Kimberly Reese
- Jenifer Lewis as Dorothy Dandridge Davenport
- Jada Pinkett Smith as Lena James
The original A Different World aired for six seasons on NBC from 1987 to 1993. It began as a spin-off of The Cosby Show focused on Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) before evolving into its own vibrant exploration of Black college life.
A Fresh Take on a Classic
While the original was a multi-camera sitcom filmed before a live studio audience, the sequel adopts a single-camera format without one. It’s billed as a “hopeful dramedy” that dives into the rituals, humor, and nuances of HBCU life, centering the richness and complexity of the Black experience.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement as these first-look images capture everything from campus parties and games to heartfelt moments and group hugs that feel both nostalgic and brand new.
Will you be tuning in when A Different World returns to Netflix this fall? The campus doors are reopening—class is officially back in session at Hillman.
