A TV production about the Challenger disaster is now filming in the Atlanta & Savannah areas.
This television production is looking to hire a bunch of Georgia locals who are able to work on set as paid background actors.
This is a period piece and “Challenger” seeks people who are able to pull off a very 1980s look.
The Challenger is an upcoming Prime Video limited series from Amblin Television, telling the story of the events leading up to the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and the investigation that followed. It stars Kristen Stewart as astronaut Sally Ride, alongside Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Shea Whigham, and more.
You may see the list of roles below as well as how to submit for the casting call.
This is a paid extras job in Georgia.
Current rates are $182 for a 12 hour day on set. No experience is necessary.
Please note that you must live in the Atlanta, Georgia area as no travel expenses are being covered.
