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.

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes is in the news again, this time for sharing her thoughts on the cast and who needs to be gone.
“If I had it my way, I would get rid of two girls,” Leakes told TooFab. Everyone who watches the show knows that she and Porsha Williams have been at odds since the start of Season 10.
“In my opinion, yes — the cast should be changed up a bit,” NeNe told TooFab in a recent interview. “If I had it my way, I would get rid of two girls and bring in two new ones for excitement. You know, after a while with some of the girls, they just don’t have anything going on exciting enough to be a main cast member.”
“But I better keep who I think should go to myself because the moment I say anything, all hell breaks loose,” she said.
She’s right. We’ll see how this goes over with the rest of the cast members.
