atest press release from Bluetooth Productions, issued on Friday, July 3rd 2026…

We are scouring the island of Ireland, high and low, looking for extras to participate in our swords and shields historical saga!

We will be looking to hire 1000s of extras over the duration of the show which will surely be an epic adventure.

We are appealing to anyone with an interest in history, TV, film, the filming process, acting, or to those who simply want to experience something different, meet new people, earn a few euro and see some of the most beautiful scenery in the country while doing it. Filming will begin August 2026, in and around Wicklow, until late November. To apply, please come along to one of the Open Casting days, anytime between the hours stated.

These open days are open to adults, 16+. For any children under 16, parents can request an application form for them at the email address below.

Wicklow Thursday July 9th 10am-5pm
Parkview Hotel, Main Street, Newtown

Dublin Monday 13th & Tuesday 14th 10am-5pm

Here are some details of what we are seeking:

People from all ethnic and religious backgrounds, and heritage, some examples being: White-European, African, North African, Caribbean, Slavic, Middle Eastern, Central ad South East Asian, Mediterranean, South American, etc. The open call is open to everyone, and you do not need an appointment – you only need to attend one of the days in order to apply. You will be asked to fill out an application form, which we will give you upon arrival. We will take a photo of each person when there. Once inside the process will only take around 20 minutes.

You need to be a full-time resident and living in Ireland with a working visa and PPS number.

We will be filming mostly in the Dublin and Wicklow areas, and when we call for work/fittings, notice can sometimes be very short, so availability should be good.

Please be prepared and arrive with knowledge of your measurements – e.g. your height, chest, dress, shoe sizes, etc – as you will be asked to put these all on the application form. You do not need to bring an additional CV or headshots along, but we will accept them if you wish.

In terms of specific skills or appearances we are after, there are so many, but here are some examples… Fishermen, carpenters, craftspeople, farmworkers, axe men/women, skilled swords people, archers, rowers, sailors, ship hands and deckhands, calligraphers, Latin speakers, Arab speakers, musicians, singers, midwives, nurses, animal handlers, hunters, blacksmiths, lumber jacks, magicians, jugglers, tree Surgeons, whittlers, all sporty types, martial artists, boxers, men with all types of haircuts, especially long hair and beards, men prepared to grow hair and beards, women with all lenghts of naturally-coloured hair. No visible tattoos.

This is far from a definitive list but it gives you an idea of how broad our search is. Bring as much information about yourself as you can. All jobs are casual-temporary. If selected we may call people anytime between now and end of filming. When called, we will discuss dates of filming and rates of pay with people and ask you to come out to the studio for fittings before your first day of filming.

To give yourself a better chance, please fill out the application forms fully and correctly, including name, telephone numbers, email, etc.

Parents can request an application form for children at the email address below.
