TV series is casting its lead female role
The production team behind Kensal Town are auditioning through the current lockdown via self-tapes, and they are casting their female lead. Pandy, playing age 16–22, is a teenage “pocket rocket” with a dark side, and the producers are likening her to Jodie Comer in Killing Eve. She “accidentally killed her Dad in a sword fight; she is super smart, keeps her head down, and is very caring.” The team are looking for an actor with a London accent (though not Essex or Cockney). The project shoots January–May 2021 in and around Kensal Town, London. The role pays £2,000. For more details and to apply, head over to the casting notice.
