Hosts Vanessa Lachey and her husband Nick Lachey will return to ask the question again as new singles prepare to enter the pods for the dating experiment. Season two is currently casting in Chicago with season three to follow. It is executive produced by Chris Coelen, Sam Dean, Ally Simpson, Eric Detwiler, and Brian Smith.

Rhythm + Flow returns for a second season and judges Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and Tip “T.I.” Harris also return, looking for the next hip-hop sensation in season two of the music competition series. The judges will join other industry legends in a multi-city search to find raw, undiscovered artists looking for their come up.
