What is Mallory Zapata expecting from the show?
Love Is Blind Season 2 is a dating series featuring 30 cast members arriving to find true love. Zapata is also expecting to find love, but she has only one demand, and it is:
“I have a really big German Shepherd. And she sheds a lot. But we’re a package deal. We come together.”
Meanwhile, Netflix will premiere the series' second season on February 11, Friday. The official synopsis of Love Is Blind reads:
“Singles try to find a match and fall in love -- without ever seeing each other face-to-face, as emotional connection attempts to conquer physical attraction.”
The dating show will consist of 15 men and 15 women looking for a life partner. They will communicate with potential matches from their respective pods without seeing them. If any couple clicks, they’ll meet each other directly for their engagement.
