OTT & Television Casting

Series regulars, guest cast and background

Brief our team Apply as talent

Long-form casting is a commitment problem. A series regular is signing up for months and possibly for a second season; a guest role is in and out inside a week. Those need different conversations, and running them the same way is how a production loses a lead in the middle of a block.

Regulars, and what they are agreeing to

A series regular is an availability commitment across a block and often an option on the next. Those terms are put in front of talent before a reading, not after an offer, so an actor who cannot commit withdraws early rather than late.

Guest and episodic

Episodic casting runs continuously against a moving schedule. We work from the episode breakdown as it firms up and keep a working pool warm, so a role written in late does not start from an empty shortlist.

Background at volume

Streaming schedules need background in numbers and on repeat days. We size each call to the frame, brief wardrobe ahead, and keep the same faces across continuous scenes so the edit is not fighting a changing crowd.

Questions

OTT & Television Casting — common questions

How are options for a second season handled?

As a written term agreed at the point of the original offer, with the window and the terms stated. An option that was never agreed in writing is not an option, and finding that out at the start of a second block is an expensive way to learn it.

Can you supply background on repeat days?

Yes, and continuity is the point of doing it properly. We hold the same faces across continuous scenes and track who appeared where, so the crowd does not change between two shots of the same afternoon.

Do you cast presenters and unscripted talent?

Yes. Unscripted casting is judged on how someone holds a camera without a script, which means a piece to camera rather than a headshot. We brief and collect those as part of the shortlist.
