Netflix Viking series needs 1,000 extras to star in show

If you're a big fan of the Vikings series, which was available to stream from Netflix, then you may be excited to hear that you could star alongside some of your favourite characters.

Netflix directors are on the hunt for actors, models and anyone else who is talented enough to appear on TV to star in the upcoming series Vikings: Valhalla.

The show is a spin-off of the hit TV series Vikings, which all began with the tale of Ragnar Lothbrok who rises in the ranks from mere farmer to warrior and commander.

The popular streaming site is looking for 1,000 extras to make up the numbers in crowds and ferocious battle scenes - which, if you have seen Vikings, know there is plenty of.

This could be your chance to break into showbiz as they hunt for men and women from all ethnic backgrounds, with a range of body types, with everything from natural-coloured hair to grunge looks, undercuts, punk styles and people with crooked or missing teeth.

They are also looking for people with "quirky, unusual, weird & wonderful looks and skills", reports Dublin Live.

This includes skills like artisans, crafts people, military trained people, archers, blacksmiths, farmers, bakers and fishmongers.

The job description adds: "Stand out from the crowd? Even if you think you don’t, we would love to see you there anyway!"

Aspiring actors have to be 18 years or older and have PPS numbers.

How to apply?

Casting calls are happening at:

Dublin (March 16, 10 am - 6 pm)

Liberty Hall Theatre (SIPTU Building), Eden Quay

Wicklow (March 12, 10 am - 6pm)

The Parkview Hotel, Main Street, Newtown Mount Kennedy

You don’t need an appointment so you can show up anytime between the hours stated.
