WARNING – GRAPHIC CONTENT

PLEASE READ FIRST

A large number of scenes in this TV Series will realistically depict extreme violence, gun and other weapon use which will involve simulated murder and death.

While these actions will be performed by qualified Stunt Actors, the make-up and effects will contain blood and special effect gore to make the scenes as believable as possible.

If you are sensitive to any of these subjects or if they may trigger any past events or fears, please DO NOT apply for this TV Series.

There are always plenty of other shows that OnCue submit talent for which may be better suited for you.
