Casting TaylorMade (Casting™) is soooo excited to announce we are beginning to cast for STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5!

“Stranger Things” is set in the 1980s – so it is very important that you upload a current selfie with today’s date on a piece of paper. We need to see exactly how your hair/facial hair looks for hair/makeup purposes. Because of the nature of this show, we ask:

MALES : PLEASE DO NOT CUT YOUR HAIR OR SHAVE YOUR SIDEBURNS BETWEEN NOW AND FILMING
FEMALES : WE ASK FOR YOUR HAIR COLOR TO BE A NATURAL COLOR. SHORTER STYLES, LAYERS AND BANGS ARE GREAT! PLEASE ALSO NO ARTIFICIAL NAILS OR BRIGHT COLORED NAILS. NO EXTREMELY LONG NAILS. TRY TO STICK TO AS NATURAL AND NEUTRAL AS POSSIBLE. The french manicure was very popular and the “chiclet” style (squared off) for length – so this is an acceptable style.
