Netflix Is Bringing 'Love Is Blind' to Canada

The streamer has opened casting for Canadian singles ready to put their hearts, and their dating lives, on the line.

Canadians looking for love are about to get a very unusual way to find it, as Netflix has officially opened casting for Love Is Blind Canada, bringing one of its biggest reality dating franchises to the country for the first time.

The premise has already won over millions of viewers around the world: meet someone, create a connection and potentially fall in love before seeing what they look like. The real appeal, though, is what happens when that experiment moves from the pods into real life, where attraction, compatibility and all the little things that make or break a relationship suddenly come into play.


For Canadian hopefuls, the experience will be just as intense. Selected contestants will spend roughly two weeks living on set with dozens of other singles, with cameras and microphones capturing the experience around the clock. There will be little privacy, plenty of pressure and, maybe, a relationship that could change their lives.

The application process is also considerably more involved than the average dating show. Applicants must be at least 19 and either Canadian citizens or permanent residents as of January 1, 2027. Those selected for consideration will undergo physical and psychological assessments and extensive background checks, including criminal, civil, financial and driving history.

Casting is now open, with applications currently scheduled to close November 2, 2026.

'Heated Rivalry' Is Getting the Academic Treatment

Since premiering less than a year ago on Crave, hockey romance series Heated Rivalry has become one of the most viral subjects in pop culture. From unauothorized off-Broadway parodies to a sea lion at Pacific Marine Mammal Center being named after Shane Hollander, the series has become seemingly inescapable. Now, the NSFW show, and the book series it was based on, is getting its place in academia.

Starting this fall, students at the University of Victoria in British-Columbia will be able to take two different classe centered around the series, the Times Colonist reports.

Law professor Gillian Calder has taught her class ''Queering Law'' before, but will now use the series to push students to reflect how regulations affect queer lives, sports, gender, sexuality and masculinity in Canada. Guest speakers will be called upon to discuss different real-life events, such as the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal that rocked the country. Her broader approach to legal education, she says, emphasizes creativity, empathy and the ability to understand experiences beyond one's own.

A24 shared a teaser trailer for the documentary following its surprise premiere at Telluride. The short clip features Holmes telling Fielder that she has no reason to deceive him. “Why would I do that?” she says, eyes wide. A skeptical Fielder asks, “You’re being real right now?” “I’m always being real,” Holmes replies. The camera pulls back to reveal Holmes is in her home rocking her young baby.
