“Stranger Things” is calling for extras near Atlanta, Georgia.
Columbus is no stranger to show business, and now here’s another opportunity to find your way onto the small screen. The Emmy-winning Netflix hit, “Stranger Things” is cranking up for season five, and the production team is looking for people to play extras.

Must be open to a (possibly) significant haircut
Plan to be there for at least 12 hours

Exactly match the measurements for each role
Must have open availability and an extremely flexible schedule on shooting and fitting days
The casting firm, Casting Taylormade, hasn’t released the filming dates yet but has revealed the locations to be within an hour’s drive of Atlanta and surrounding cities.
