WHERE TO BUY LEVEL UP TV SHOW SERIES
A casting director is usually well connected with agencies and managers and will put together a casting call, or daylong series of auditions. If not, the people in charge could try to assemble the cast themselves - or they could work with a talent agency or casting director. When it's time for casting, there might already be a lead actor (or actors) attached to the project. This schedule is generally outlined as preproduction, production and postproduction.

Then the producers hire the crew - and finally, the pilot is shot and edited. When that's done, cast auditions are next. They help with hiring the director, talent, crew, writers and assistant producers, and their first task is rewriting or updating the script. Producers help the showrunner handle everything. Sometimes the showrunner is the person who created the show's concept, wrote the script or treatment and pitched it. He or she works with the writers and script, casts the actors, is responsible for creative direction and usually oversees the project from start to finish. First, the showrunner and producers are hired. When the network approves a pilot for filming, several things must occur.
