Are you free and in Ireland this weekend?

We’re all guilty of devoting a weekend or two to Netflix in our time. Sometimes we binge watch a new series in the same day it was released, or even worse, watch something we’ve seen from the start for the 13th time.

But we are here to present you with an opportunity to spend your weekend actually making your way into a Netflix series, rather than watching one on the couch.

There is an open casting call for people in their late teens, and early years of adulthood, to appear in a live-action Netflix series based on the popular Italian animated franchise Winx Club.

Applicants would have the chance to be extras in the series, and must be between 18 and 25 years of age.

Extras must also have good availability, with an interest in athletics, martial arts, boxing, swimming and acting heavily preferred.

If you are interested in watching yourself on the tele the next time you’re doing a bit of Netflix and Chill, pop down to the open casting in Wynn’s Hotel on Abbey Street in Dublin on Saturday 17 August between 9am and 6pm.

The role is a paid, part-time position.

The official plot description for the series reads as follows:  “Tucked away in a mythic parallel world, the Alfea School has trained Fairies in the magical arts for thousands of years, but it’s never had a student quite like Bloom.

“Raised in the human world, she’s headstrong, kind… and dangerous. Within her is a power that could destroy both worlds, or save them. To control it, she has to control her emotions. She’s a teenager. How hard could that be?”
