This is NOT a giant call day. We’re specifically looking for fresh faces and new people to fill remaining spots with the right people.
IF YOU WERE BOOKED FOR OUR MEMORIAL SCENE - PLEASE DO NOT APPLY!
We already have your information and availability for October 5, and we’re reviewing your group first to see who would be a great fit for tomorrow’s roles. You can ignore this casting call, and we’ll contact you directly if we have a spot for you!
Thank you SO much for your patience, flexibility, and help! ❤️🚀
📸 CURRENT PHOTOS PLEASE
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!
👞 WARDROBE
WE WILL WANT YOU TO BRING THINGS IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING (that will follow in the final confirmation email that will go out later today).
✂️ 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.
For men, we are NOT looking for full beards for these upcoming looks. Mustaches are great, so please feel free to let those grow, and longer sideburns are also a major plus for the period.
There are A LOT of different types of roles we’ll be casting throughout this production, and if your hair and facial hair work for the period and what Production needs, we will absolutely keep you in mind.
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.

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.
