CHALLENGER is a limited series inspired by the true story of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, exploring the people, ambitions and decisions surrounding America’s space program in the years leading up to the 1986 tragedy and its aftermath.
Spanning the 1970s through the late 1980s, the series is set against a transformative era in American history, from the evolution of NASA and the Space Shuttle program to the culture, fashion and everyday life of the period.
Casting TaylorMade is seeking MANY different types of background performers to help us tell this story as authentically and historically accurately as possible.
And you know how much we LOVE creating an 1980s world! We’re bringing it 110% for this production, and we’d love your help making this world as authentic as possible.
✂️ HAIR + FACIAL HAIR
If you’re interested in working on CHALLENGER, please STOP cutting your hair at this time! Longer, grown-out, natural hair gives our Hair & Makeup team much more to work with when creating authentic 1970s and 1980s looks. The same goes for facial hair — let it grow!
There are A LOT of different types of roles we’ll be casting throughout this production, and we promise: if your hair and/or facial hair is right for the period and what we’re looking for, we will find a spot for you on this one!
And no need to text us asking if we saw your submission — we see you. 😉 We review your submissions and photos carefully and will reach out when we have the right fit for you.
Because this is a 1970s–1980s period production, your current hair and facial hair are an important part of the casting process.
If you are able to, please start GROWING OUT your hair and facial hair now and avoid making any major cuts or changes. Having a little extra length gives our Hair Department the best foundation to work with so they can cut, trim, shape or style it into the specific period look needed for your role.
If selected, we may ask you to make slight alterations to your hair or facial hair, so please let us know in the questions below exactly what you ARE and ARE NOT comfortable changing.
Please do not make any changes specifically for the production unless we ask you to.
📸 PLEASE HELP US WITH YOUR PHOTOS
Please upload a CURRENT close-up photo and a CURRENT full-length photo. Professional photos are NOT needed — current, clear photos are much more helpful to us!
Upload NO MORE THAN 3 photos
NO videos/movies
Make sure we can clearly see your current hair + facial hair
BEFORE uploading to Dropbox, save each photo to your computer or phone using your FIRST + LAST NAME as the file name
The easier you make it for us to identify you and see exactly what you look like RIGHT NOW, the easier it is for us to find the right spot for you!
👗 FITTINGS
A costume fitting is MANDATORY for booked background performers and is an important part of creating the correct period look for each scene.
📍 Fittings will be held at the studio in Doraville, GA 30360.
Fittings are separate from filming days and are typically scheduled 2–4 weeks before your filming date.
If selected for a role, we will send you a fitting sign-up link so you can choose the day + time within that week.
👞 WARDROBE
Costumes will also provide a specific list of clothing, shoes and/or accessories to bring from home, and we would LOVE your help with this! The more period-appropriate options we have to work with, the better we can build this world together.
🚙 VINTAGE VEHICLES — YES, WE WILL BE CASTING THEM!
Of course, a production spanning the 1970s through the late 1980s needs the vehicles to match! We will be casting LOTS of vintage/period vehicles for CHALLENGER.
If you are hoping to work WITH your vintage vehicle, please HOLD OFF on submitting your vehicle through this casting call.
We are creating a separate casting call specifically for YOU + YOUR VEHICLE with all of the information we need from you.
We promise, vintage vehicle owners — you WILL hear from us! 🚗 We’ll also be posting the vehicle casting call publicly as soon as it’s ready, so keep an eye out for it.
👧🧒 MINORS — YOUR CASTING CALLS ARE COMING TOO!
Parents, please HOLD OFF on submitting your kids through this casting call.
We WILL be casting minors for CHALLENGER, but we’ll have separate casting calls specifically for our younger performers coming out within the next week or so.
Those calls will include the specific ages, roles, dates and information we need from you, so please wait for those before submitting your child.
We haven’t forgotten about the kids! Keep an eye on our page because their casting calls are coming soon. ⭐️
We’re excited to bring this era to life and want your help making CHALLENGER look and feel as authentic to the period as possible! 🚀

🚀 ABOUT CHALLENGER
CHALLENGER is a limited series inspired by the true story of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, exploring the people, ambitions and decisions surrounding America's space program in the years leading up to the 1986 tragedy and its aftermath.
Spanning the 1970s through the late 1980s, the series will recreate everyday life during this era, including families, neighborhoods, schools, community events, airports, celebrations, memorials and crowds.
We're looking for a variety of children and teens to help us authentically bring this world to life!
🌟 CHECK OUT THE ROLES & DETAILS BELOW!
✂️ HAIR — PLEASE READ!
Because CHALLENGER takes place throughout the 1970s and 1980s, your child's CURRENT HAIR is an important part of our casting process.
If your child is interested in working on the production, please avoid making any major hair changes right now if possible!
Longer, grown-out and natural hair gives our Hair Department much more to work with when creating authentic period looks.
If selected, we may ask whether you are comfortable allowing our Hair Department to make small changes, such as trimming, shaping or styling your child's hair for their specific period look.
Please DO NOT cut or change your child's hair specifically for this production unless Casting TaylorMade asks you to.
The submission form will give you an opportunity to tell us exactly what you ARE and ARE NOT comfortable allowing us to change.
📸 PLEASE HELP US WITH YOUR CHILD'S PHOTOS
Please upload:
1 CURRENT close-up photo
1 CURRENT full-length photo
Professional photos are NOT needed! Current, clear photos are MUCH more helpful to us.
Upload NO MORE THAN 3 photos
NO videos
Make sure we can clearly see your child's current hair
Please do not submit heavily filtered or edited photos
BEFORE uploading to Dropbox, please save each photo to your device using your child’s FIRST + LAST NAME as the file name.
⚠️ THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ON OUR END.
The easiest way to do this is to save the photos to your desktop or phone first, rename each file with your child’s FIRST + LAST NAME, and then upload them to Dropbox.
If we cannot properly identify your child’s photos, we sadly will not be able to book them.
Please take the extra minute to get this part right. Submitting quickly isn’t the win — submitting CORRECTLY is. ✅
The easier you make it for us to identify your child and see exactly what they look like RIGHT NOW, the easier it is for us to find the right spot for them!
📧 IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS — EMAIL INFORMATION
We completely understand that it is MUCH easier for parents to manage casting communication for their children through one parent/guardian email address.
YES — you may use YOUR email address when submitting your child.
The FIRST EMAIL ADDRESS you provide in this form will be the email Casting TaylorMade uses for ALL casting and booking correspondence regarding your child.
Later in the form, we will ask you to provide a SEPARATE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR YOUR CHILD.
THIS SECOND EMAIL IS FOR PAYROLL PURPOSES ONLY.
It will be used ONLY for payment/payroll processing and will NOT be used by Casting TaylorMade for casting correspondence.
CASTING / BOOKING COMMUNICATION → Parent/Guardian Email
PAYROLL / PAYMENT ONLY → Child's Separate Email
Please make sure these are two different email addresses.
👗 COSTUME FITTINGS
A costume fitting will be required for minors who are booked for roles requiring a fitting.
📍 Fittings will be held at the studio in Doraville, GA 30360.
Fittings are separate from filming days and are typically scheduled in advance of your child's filming date.
If your child is selected, we will send you a fitting sign-up link with the available dates and times.
Costumes may also ask your child to bring certain clothing, shoes and/or accessories from home to help complete their period look.

🎭 WHAT TYPES OF ROLES WILL KIDS PLAY?
Casting TaylorMade will match each child with the role and scene we feel they are best suited for.
Minors will be cast for select scenes throughout filming, including family, community, school-age and larger crowd scenes.
Throughout the production, we may be looking for children and teens to portray:
Families + Children • Neighborhood Kids • School Kids • Students • Airport Travelers • Party Guests • Community Events • Memorial Attendees • Pedestrians • Period Family Scenes • Friends + Siblings
There is no need to choose a specific role when submitting.
You give us the information. We'll do the matching. 😉
📅 BLOCK 1 FILMING SCHEDULE
DATES
9/21 + 10/1 — MANDATORY 2-DAY BOOKING
If your child works on 9/21, they MUST also be available to work on 10/1.
These are matching scenes, so availability for BOTH dates is critically important.
10/4
10/22
10/29
PLEASE NOTE: We are collecting your child's availability across the entire Block 1 schedule so we know which children are available as we build each scene.
This does NOT mean your child would work all of the dates selected. Most booked minors are currently anticipated to work 1–2 filming dates during this block.
Filming is not always Monday–Friday and includes Sundays 9/27 and 10/4. Please review the specific dates carefully when submitting availability.
🎬 GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF LABOR (GDOL) — MINOR REGISTRATION
If your child does NOT already have a GDOL Minor Entertainment number, please go to the link below IMMEDIATELY and register them.
