Casting in Las Vegas for Utopia

Published on Wed, Mar 26, 2014 (4:11 p.m.)

UTOPIA, FOX’s bold new unscripted series that follows a group of everyday
people creating their own new civilization, has begun a nationwide search for
pioneers to become the first inhabitants of UTOPIA. The series is looking for
motivated and adventurous people who possess the passion and determination
to create and build a whole new world – just the way they want it! Entrants should
express their ideals, beliefs, skill sets and vision for their interpretations of
UTOPIA.

Participants must be a legal U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident, at least 21
years of age (on March 24, 2014) and able to commit to a full year as a “Utopian”
pioneer. Videos are limited to one submission per person. Please continue to
visit http://utopiatv.com/ for updated submission rules, terms, conditions and
additional casting information and events.

UTOPIA will follow 15 inhabitants as they leave their everyday lives to move to a
beautiful, but isolated and undeveloped location – for up to an entire year –
challenging them to create their own world. The series offers people from across
America the chance to be part of a groundbreaking social experiment – the
pioneers will make every decision about how they will live, work and what the
rules and laws of UTOPIA will be.

With no existing power structures and limited amenities, these “pioneers” must
draw on their own ideals and everything they know about societies around the
world, to create a new one!will it be better? Will they rewrite the rules they have
always lived by? Will they falter or prosper?

UTOPIA is a presentation of Talpa Media USA. The show is created by John de
Mol (“Big Brother,” “Deal Or No Deal,” “Fear Factor,” “The Voice”), who will also
executive-produce.
