Netflix ‘The Get Down’ extras casting call in New York City.
According to reports, Netflix has ordered 13 episodes of the Baz Luhrman music drama “The Get Down”. Baz has been working on the show for at least 10 years and it will be the latest project from the “Moulin Rogue” and “Great Gatsby” director.
“The Get Down” centers around the emerging music scene in the 1970’s. The 70’s featured the birth of punk rock and hip hop. The show will be set in New York City which is also the home of an excssive crime rate and corruption. According to Variety, “The Get Down” will focus on a group of teens living in the South Bronx as music develops and explodes in the borough around them.
1970s New York City – broken down, beaten up, violent, cash strapped, dying. Told through the lives and music of a ragtag crew of South Bronx teens – from Bronx tenements, to the SoHo art scene, CBGBs, Studio 54, and even the glass towers of the just-built World Trade Center – The Get Down is a sweeping saga of loyalty, love and betrayal, and the transformation of New York City.
‘The Get Down’ show will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2016. Casting directors are looking for extras to work on the new TV series as it films in New York City this Spring and Summer. Producers are looking for African American and Hispanic men, women, and children to play 1970s South Bronx residents.
