The following projects are now visible on the horizon, whether in development or actively casting. Keep these leads on your radar and your eyes open for the opportunity to land an audition.

Bodies

An adaptation of Si Spencer’s 2015 graphic novel Bodies has joined the slate of Netflix’s dramas in pre-production, with an eight-part limited series set to shoot from late April in London and the North West. Set across different time periods from the 1890s to the 2050s, the story sees four talented detectives uncover a murderous conspiracy stretching over 150 years. Casting director Amy Hubbard is attached. 

SAS: Rogue Heroes 

Even before the first series airs on the BBC later this year (and on Epix in the US), a second instalment of the drama series following the history of the SAS has been ordered. Based on the non-fiction of the same name by Ben MacIntyre, series one stars Sofia Boutella, Jack O'Connell, and Dominic West, plus a host of other big names. Filming for series two is slated for 2023 and Kahleen Crawford and associates are casting. 

Mother Wild 

The debut feature film from writer-director Claire Tailyour has been greenlit, with a shooting schedule TBC. Telling the story of a woman raising her half-human-half-beast child while on the run from a malevolent force, the project has casting director Faye Timby attached.
