The new BBC Three show, which will follow couples who met during the pandemic via a dating app, is expected to begin filming later on in the summer.
It will see pairs who have only ever spoken online or on the phone thrown into a real-life date.
Adopting a Love Island aura, it will be filmed abroad, with travel restrictions meaning no official filming dates have been confirmed.

Successful: Zara was recently behind a BBC documentary about revenge porn and her career appears to be going from strength-to-strength, as she is set to host the new reality TV series Love In The Flesh
A source told The Sun: 'Zara is quickly becoming a real BBC darling, and following the success of her documentary earlier this year, she was approached for Love In The Flesh.
'It will be Zara’s first time presenting a big show, but bosses think she is more than ready for it. And because of her Love Island past, Zara knows all too well what it can be like finding love on screen.'
They also added that the reality star was 'thrilled' when the opportunity was offered to her.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Zara for comment.
Zara's ventures were also set to expand earlier on this year when it was announced that she would play a role in a new investigative documentary series called Sexism In Schools.
The Essex-born stunner will chat to young women about their experiences and will specifically focus on those pushing for change.
She is accustomed to talking about challenging topics, as being a victim herself of revenge porn allowed her to explore the issue further in her successful documentary.
The influencer's first documentary shed light on her two experiences with revenge porn, after explicit images were taken and leaked when she was both 14 and 21.
Zara had been shooting the show for over a year and has been campaigning relentlessly to tighten laws on the crime of image-based sexual abuse, which is the sharing of private, sexual materials of another person without their consent.
