Fans of the Demogorgon-battling series "Stranger Things" have a chance to join the Upside Down – figuratively speaking. Netflix is opening the gates to the quaint, supernaturally plagued town of Hawkins for the show's fifth and final season. If your love for the show has bordered on obsessive, you might just be right for the extras needed as filming wraps up in metro Atlanta.
The casting agency, Casting TaylorMade, is on the prowl – and not for demodogs – but for eager extras ready to potentially to sacrifice their modern hairdo for a retro look more suited for the show's aesthetic. According to FOX 5 Atlanta, these extras must be prepared for a minimum of 12 hours on set, bringing enthusiasm and perhaps a little nostalgia for the 1980s.
For those interested in applying, the process has been laid out as smooth as Eleven's telekinetic powers. Head over to the official website provided by Casting TaylorMade. Specific requirements for each role are posted, and while experience may not be universally demanded, a certain look might. And let's not gloss over social media – yes, you'll need to provide links to your pages. It's all part of the gig now, isn't it? Once you've keyed in your details, hit "Submit Availability" and cross those fingers. You can find more details on the application process via 11Alive.
Fans have been champing at the bit since the last season, their wait extended by a writers' strike last May that put the brakes on production. But the wheels are turning again and Atlanta locals could be a part of the show's climax – no telekinesis or heroics required, just a headshot and the ability to maybe totally rock a mullet or some shoulder pads. Mark your calendars for the casting dates in September, and who knows? You might just find yourself sharing screen space with one of Netflix's most beloved casts.
