NBC TV Pilot Casting Call for Principal Speaking Role – Paula Holt
Series Regular – Paula Holt in New Comedy Pilot
NBC is launching a vibrant new single-camera comedy set in a Native community center in Oakland, California, from acclaimed showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas and the creative forces behind “Rutherford Falls” and “Reservation Dogs.” This project celebrates authentic stories, sharp humor, and diverse Native representation in television.
NBC Shines a Light on Native Community and Representation
This comedy pilot focuses on the dedicated staff at a Native community center, juggling daily challenges while uplifting those around them. The series is led by industry trailblazers committed to bringing real voices and unique perspectives to the screen, making this a prime opportunity for Indigenous actors to shine.
