Job Position(s): Casting Notices for Challenger Mini-Series Filming in Georgia

Casting TaylorMade is seeking male background performers for the Challenger Mini-Series Filming in Georgia, a limited series currently in production in Atlanta. Background performers on this project work directly within the extras casting pipeline, appearing in period-accurate scenes that recreate everyday American life from the 1970s through the late 1980s. This role suits local Atlanta-area talent comfortable on set in episodic television production, with or without prior on-set experience.

About the Role

These Casting Notices for Challenger Mini-Series Filming in Georgia cover background work across multiple filming dates, with scenes set at locations standing in for an airport, Kennedy Space Center, and Johnson Space Center. A typical day involves reporting to set, wardrobe and continuity checks to maintain period authenticity, and holding position through multiple takes as directed by the AD team. This is paid background work on a limited series production with a filming schedule running from September 2026 through February 2027.

Key Responsibilities

• Report to set on any combination of the scheduled filming dates: Monday September 21, Tuesday September 22, and Sunday October 4, 2026.
• Perform background action within scenes depicting airport environments and NASA personnel settings, maintaining period-appropriate behavior as directed.
• Take direction from assistant directors and on-set background coordinators to ensure continuity across multiple camera setups.
• Hold wardrobe and appearance consistent with the 1970s and 1980s era throughout each filming day.
• Remain available and on standby between takes in accordance with standard background performer protocol on episodic television sets.

What You Bring

• Male presenting, ages 25 to 55, all ethnicities considered.
• Local to the Atlanta, Georgia area, as no travel or housing is provided by production.
• Available for at least one of the three listed filming dates, with submission encouraged for all dates that genuinely work.
• No prior on-set experience required, though familiarity with background work on film or television production is a plus.
