The show is setup as an anthology series. which means the stories being told change season to season and has been nominated for Emmy awards for the show which include a 2017 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a Movie, Outstanding limited series and another for the theme music.
The series and its casting team is looking for background actors that would like to work as paid background actors on “Genius” who also happen to live in and around the Atlanta, Georgia area where the series films.
The show takes a look at, well, the untold stories of some of the world’s most brilliant minds and the innovations that they contributed. Those interested in finding out where you can watch the show can check the TV Guide page which has that information.
