Apple TV+'s Ted Lassocharmed us all, and now dating app Bumble is bringing one element of the show to life: Bantr, the fictional dating app that brought together characters Rebecca Welton and Sam Obisanya.

In the show, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is Sam's (Toheeb Jimoh) boss — but they didn't figure out they were talking to each other due to how Bantr functions. The app doesn't show users each other's photos and instead lets them connect through a text-only conversation. Beginning this Thursday, Bumble users will be able to experience Bantr for themselves.

Bantr Live, a weekly event available to Bumble users for free, launches on Oct. 13 at 7:00 p.m. local time. It'll be, of course, Ted Lasso branded in the app. Users can RSVP to the event starting today.

Here's how it'll work: Once you RSVP, you'll be automatically connected with someone based on your search preferences once the experience starts. Like on Bantr, Bumble users will connect with personality first, without any photos shared. They'll chat for three minutes and then will be asked if they want to continue the conversation. If both daters match, the chat will live on the usual queue and they'll be able to see photos.
