Amazon’s “Barbershop” Series Casting Paid Extras

Amazon MGM Studios is bringing the beloved “Barbershop” world to Prime Video with a new TV series inspired by the original film franchise. The goal: revive the humor, heart, and community vibe of Calvin’s barbershop for a new generation—backed by a strong producing team and Amazon MGM’s growing list of MGM adaptations.

Right now, a background casting notice is circulating for the series, seeking locals who can work as paid extras. While the series is associated with production in the Atlanta area, the specific casting notice below lists a Chicago, IL work location—so make sure you read the details carefully before submitting.
