'Age of Attraction' is the latest dating reality show on the block, and the Netflix series has been a smash hit with the fans. Unique and dramatic, the show follows multigenerational daters, while also binning the misconceptions that come with age as a number and how it impacts relationships. So, the bigger question is whether age is really a factor when you are looking for true love. With the streamer renewing the show for a second season, the focus is on how to be part of the show in a bid to find love.

In what adds to its uniqueness, the show looks past conventional open casting calls and has a different site of its own, ageofattractioncasting.com. Any US citizen or legal resident can apply and fill out an expansive form to join the series. There are eligibility criteria that every candidate needs to be aware of. To begin with, each applicant has to be at least 18 years old and be a legal US citizen/resident. He/she must be willing to go through thorough background checks and travel to different locations for filming. The potential age, per The Cinemaholic, is 22 to 60 to avoid any kind of issues. This is followed by the regular details that go into any form  — name, contacts, recent photographs, and a short introduction video. The straightforward process comes after the initial criteria are met.

Earlier, the show's executive producers, Jennifer O’Connell and Rebecca Quinn, released a statement expressing their delight in getting Season 2 on the floor. "We love concepts that are impossible to look away from, and 'Age of Attraction' nailed that from day one," O'Connell and Quinn said. "It's messy, it's real, and that's what makes it fun to watch. Huge thanks to Netflix for embracing this dating experiment with us. The response has been incredible, and we’re excited to push it even further in Season 2." Adding to the take were hosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy Viall, who have an 18-year gap between themselves. "If people made a connection where there was an age difference, we just wanted to give them permission to explore what was great about that relationship," 'The Bachelor' alum told Fox News Digital earlier in March. "And not worry about outside voices because those outside voices aren't in the relationship."
