Want to be in a big movie or show? Here are some casting calls for Georgia talent
Georgia plays a huge part in the film and TV industry, with several notable movies and shows using the state for production. According to the state’s Department of Economic Development, there are more than 20 major series currently being filmed in Georgia plus multiple feature films. Marvel fans will often see a Georgia peach logo appear before or after the post-credits scenes of their favorite flicks.
But these projects can’t happen without sufficient casting. To fill the many empty slots, studios put out casting calls for a variety of roles — and they are being snapped up fast.
Take a look at some opportunities — open as of Jan. 28 — in Georgia to appear in a major motion picture or hit TV show, according to Project Casting:
“Superman: Legacy”
Central Casting is looking for male, white children that can work in Atlanta around May and June are needed for “Superman: Legacy.” Previous acting experience is helpful but not mandatory. Competitive pay will be available plus a film credit, and travel and accommodation expenses will be covered if applicable. There is also an open casting call for background actors/actresses.
DC Comics is getting a reboot on the big screen with a brand new slate of movies and shows. This is one of the first productions and will be written and directed by James Gunn, the mind behind the “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy and “The Suicide Squad.” Little is known about the movie’s exact plot, except that Superman will be reconciling his alien heritage with his human upbringing and the movie will focus on the character’s role as a symbol of hope and light. “Superman: Legacy” scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.

“Cobra Kai” reignited and invited new fans to a franchise that kicked off with the “The Karate Kid” movies released 40 years ago. The show gave more depth to the original characters while developing new, younger leads for fans to fall in love with as everyone explores new sides of karate and new sides of themselves. The show’s sixth and final season is expected to release this year, but there is not an exact date yet.

The call is for ages 18 and older who can play Asian, Latin American, or Muslim and can work in Atlanta. They will be paid $130 for 10 hours.
The legal drama released on Hulu in 2022. It follows an LA defense attorney’s personal and professional struggles. The show was created by Raamla Mohamed, who was a writer and executive story editor for ABC’s “Scandal.” A release date for season two has not been released yet.

Proposed Georgia bill restricts voting to U.S. citizens
GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.
