On Aug 9, the US-based platform unveiled a very special appeal for applications to join its reality shows, all through a short video lasting a maximum of one minute: “But what I’m most excited about is the launch of the largest reality casting call ever.

Starting today, we’re inviting fans to apply for their favourite type of Netflix reality shows on NetflixReality.com,” announced Brandon Riegg, VP of Unscripted and Documentary Series at Netflix.

The American giant has opened applications for 12 of its reality shows.

Whether you’re a cooking buff, ready to tidy up and spruce up your home or looking for love, there’s something for everyone with “Nailed It!,” “Queer Eye,” “The Circle,” “Love is Blind,” “Dream Home Makeover,” “Floor Is Lava,” “Roaring Twenties,” “Get Organized with The Home Edit,” “Too Hot to Handle,” “Sparking Joy with Marie Kondo,” “The American Barbecue Showdown,” and “Indian Matchmaking.”

TikTok-style short application videos

This will be the largest casting call ever organised by the streaming platform but there are certain conditions.

Candidates have to be at least 18 years old and live in the US, Canada, the UK or Ireland.

Would-be candidates in other countries will have to wait.

To try your luck and maybe see yourself on Netflix, it’s first necessary to send a video of one minute or less, similar to the format of TikTok: “No ring light, no glam. Just. Be. You,” emphasises Netflix.

Applicants will be able to choose to submit their video for one or more programs and may see themselves being contacted later for future seasons or right now.

Note that Netflix has renewed “The Circle” for a fourth and fifth season, as well as “Indian Matchmaking” and “The American Barbecue Showdown” for their second seasons.

The streaming platform also unveiled a new programme with “Roaring Twenties” that will bring together twenty-somethings in Austin, Texas living together in search of love and success.
