A major television production is heading to the North East coast - and you could be a part of it.

Casting agency Lucas Extras is on the lookout for over 200 paid extras to appear in a new TV series filming in Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

While details of the show remain tightly under wraps, producers have hinted at a "dark, twisty" tale.

It will be a modern adaptation of a much-loved classic storyteller - adding an air of intrigue to what is already shaping up to be a significant production for the area.

The casting call is open to anyone aged 16 and over, with organisers keen to recruit "authentic, everyday local faces" from across the Teesside and North Yorkshire coast, including Redcar, Middlesbrough and Whitby.

No previous acting experience is required, making it an opportunity for first-timers to step onto a professional set.

Successful applicants will be paid standard industry rates.

Filming is expected to take place throughout the week commencing September 7, so good availability is essential.

Whether you are curious about how television is made, looking to get your foot in the door for a future acting career, or simply looking for a unique paid experience, organisers say they are keen to hear from you.

Those interested can register for free via lucasextras.com or follow instructions on the official casting poster, which includes a QR code.

Applicants are asked to upload clear, recent photos as part of the process.
