The show’s extras casting directors at NCasting have just released the casting information for those that want to apply to be on the show. The show is currently scheduled to begin production in Charleston on October 20th.
The show follows a demon hunter named Maria Abascal. Maria is a Demon hunter for hire, so to speak, and with her brother, the pair hunts and exorcises the demons in others.

She too has a demon inside her wanting to get out and it takes all of Maria’s strength to keep her demon in check and prevent her demon from overtaking her completely. The series is set in the Savannah, Georgia area, though it will film in SC.

I would love to do the TV show but if I get casted will there be free transportation because I can get there for casting but the transportation thing, email me for pictures.
No, most extra work will not provide any transportation and you should not apply unless you know you can get there because many casting directors will not consider anyone ever again if they get cast and do not show up. You should only apply to jobs that are local.
