Cast call for “House of Cards” season 5
Casting directors with Marinella Hume Casting hosted an open casting call a few months back for the political drama but are still in need of more local talent to work as paid background extras on “House of Cards” season 5.
The show’s new season is filming around the Maryland area and the production is in need of various types for an upcoming episode. MHC is now casting local talent, please see the casting notice below for all the role details and specific dates talent will be working.
“House of Cards” is a scripted Netflix series set in Washington D.C. political scene. The show focuses on a scheming politician, Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) who schemes and blackmails his way to the political top spot of President. Kevin Spacey’s character, Frank Underwood is joined by his equally conniving wife, played by Robin Wright.
“House of Cards” creator Beau Willimon, recently left the show. Willimon is credited with making the show such a success for Netflix. “House of Cards” is Netflix’s most popular and longest running show, beating out their other hit series “Orange is the New Black.”
“House of Cards” is based on a BBC show of the same name and is produced by David Fincher, Kevin Spacey, Joshua Donen, Beau Willimon, Eric Roth, Michael Dobbs, Dana Brunetti, and Andrew Davies. “House of Cards” fans can expect to binge watch season 5 next spring when it premieres on Netflix.

I was wondering if the production could use extra hands on the set. Camera operator/assistant or any extra work. My husband is attending Fullsail University. I thought this maybe a good opportunity for him to get to be in the scenes. I see house of cards will be doing a season 5 here in Baltimore. I remember the marveled look on his face as he seen y’all recording.
