Meet the team who decide Love is Blind UK cast as casting for new 2025 series continues - plus how cast is chosen

Love is Blind is Netflix’s most popular and successful dating show - and as a result there are now editions recorded around the world. One of the most recent editions to the LIB collection was an eagerly anticipated UK version, which debuted last August.

Series 2 is in the pipeline, and expected to air in summer 2025, and series 3 is even rumoured. That’s because applications for the show are still open via a platform called Short Audition. The closing date for series 2 applicant was originally listed as July 2024. But, thethe Love Is Blind application form is still live - but the closing date has been changed to Friday August 15. A statement reads: “We reserve the right to extend or close the application process at any time in our sole discretion for any reason and without notice.”

So, that means either series 2 was filmed last summer, after applications first closed in July, and we’ll see it on our screens later this year. Or, for reasons unknown, the production team have decided to delay the recording of series 2 and have extended applications until this summer instead. Netflix hasn’t yet given any details about series 2 and when we can expect it to air, but given the success of the first series I can’t see that the production team have had to extend the casting period, nor that series 2 won’t air until 2026.

Either way, there’s a casting team who will decide the men and women who will be given the opportunity to see if love truly is blind. Keep reading to find out more about them - plus details of how the cast in chose, including whether the cast or scouted or apply independently.

How is the Love is Blind cast chosen?

We know from things that the Love is Blind UK series one contestants have said that some cast members for the show are scouted by the production team above, while some do get chosen after applying off their own back.

Catherine Richards has previously spoken about being scouted for the show, but said despite this, she didn’t get any special treatment. She was approached, but then still had to go through casting and an audition - something which she said was a “long process”. Benaiah Grunewald Brydie was also approached by casting producers to take part.

Sabrina Egerton, however, said that she was scouted and instead applied to be on the show herself. “For me it was an intense four month process before being cast,” she said. She added that she had to go though a number of checks before being chosen, as well as screening calls, and “lots of Zoom calls.”
