Netflix seeking newly-slim singles for Weight To Date show
The streamer is casting a reality docuseries focused on people dating after losing weight.
Netflix is seeking participants for a new reality show, Weight To Date, focused on recently slim individuals. This concept brings to mind other weight-themed shows like Bridalplasty and The Swan, but Variety reports it will be more akin to Love On The Spectrum, Love Island, or the Biggest Loser. The program will not focus on the weight loss journey but rather on how these individuals' lives have changed post-transformation.
The production company is currently recruiting "individuals who are ready to date after having a major weight loss." The show's timing is particularly interesting given the surge in popularity of GLP-1 drugs, which have caused a notable shift in public discourse around weight loss. While Netflix doesn't explicitly mention these medications, it's difficult to ignore the potential influence they may have on the contestants' experiences on Weight To Date.
