The CIA drama “Homeland” is looking for actors and extras in Richmond and surrounding areas for the filming of its 7th season.
“Extras Casting Director Kendall Cooper is seeking people of all ethnicities, all ages, and all types to play various characters throughout the season,” the show posted on Facebook this week. “There will also be a specific need for Business Professional/Political types and Military Personnel/Law Enforcement types.”
According to the post, filming in Virginia will begin in September and continue through February 2018. All extra work will be paid and filming will take place between Mondays and Fridays, with workdays lasting more than 12 hours a day.
An open casting call for members of the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists will take place this Saturday from 12 to 3 p.m. in Richmond.
The award-winning series features Claire Danes, who plays a bipolar CIA operative who becomes convinced a prisoner of war has been turned by al-Qaeda and is planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil.
“We’re thrilled to bring the production of Homeland to the great state of Virginia,” series executive producer Alex Gansa previously said in a statement. “Its cities and neighborhoods and people will surely provide a rich backdrop for our story, and we in turn aim to provide a small but hopefully significant boost to the local economy.”
