“HYSTERIA” // CORE HIGH SCHOOL & YOUNG ADULTS (18TLY) // 18-30 // MULTI FILM DATES (SEE DETAILS) // Sub Request

Casting TaylorMade (Casting™) is beginning to cast for our new project “HYSTERIA” with Peacock Network. This show is set in the 1980s! We are looking forward to get this booking process started! We will be creating a CORE group of HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS & YOUNG ADULTS as in our script this show takes place in a small town in Michigan.

Our plan is that we will want to use you throughout the duration of filming as much as possible. Filming will take place from April 12th through August. You will be an extremely important part of this production as this High School is the main focus (sounds STRANGELY familiar).

This is an Episodic, so we only have info on the filming dates for the first episode at this time.  Once we have dates for the next episodes we will be in touch with an availability check- since we will ideally want to use you as part of this CORE group.

As most of you know, we also cast for another VERY popular show that takes place in the 80s. Due to the popularity of that show, we HIGHLY suggest and recommend you work on “Hysteria” with us so we can see that you are reliable. We will 100% be taking your professionalism & attendance from “Hysteria” into consideration when booking for that Netflix show.

“Hysteria” 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!
• SIDE NOTE > WE WILL BEGIN CASTING THE OTHER 1980s NETFLIX SHOW IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS, SO THESE RULES WILL BE THE SAME FOR THAT PRODUCTION AS WELL!
