“Manhattan” season 2 open call for background extras in New Mexico
The show is in production for the new season and is looking for extras in the Santa Fe New Mexico area. Casting directors for the WGN TV series will be holding an open casting call this weekend on Saturday, the 7th at the College of Santa Fe. The series is looking for adult extras who live in or around the Santa Fe area to work in scenes filming shortly.
“Manhattan” tells the story of the race to build the first atomic bomb and the scientists involved whose lives become forever changed. The show follows the lives of the scientists and their families as they try to build the most destructive weapon known to man and the secrecy that surrounds the project.
Manhattan premiered on WGN America in July of last year and is the second original series for the WGN Network.
If you live in the area and would like a shot at working as a paid TV show extra, here is your chance. Anyone interested in the roles may attend the open call. No pre-registration is required. The call is only for adults who would like to be on the show. No minors will be considered at this event. The show is set in the 40’s and will require natural looks, so no tattoos, piercings, modern hair colors or styles. There is no need to bring your own photos. The casting directors will be taking pictures of talent on site but they do ask that talent does not wear any heavy makeup.
