NBC’s “Revolution” is a post apocalyptic series about a group of people trying to survive after a massive blackout renders all electronic devices inoperable. This post blackout world has no electricity, no mass communication, no air planes or transit systems and an authoritarian regime has taken over. The show is set 15 years after the massive blackout, in a futuristic world that throws everyone back into the dark ages.
Casting directors are looking to book paid background extras – it is OK if you have already worked as an extra on “Revolution”. Extras are only being cast locally through On Location Casting. The casting directors are seeking extras that are 18 to 65 years old for scenes filming this week and next week.

It is free, but they would like everyone interested in that role to have the profile setup before they submit for any specific roles. (see below).
