Still image from Sons of Norway Season 1, a Norwegian reality TV dating series in which Americans of Norwegian descent will fly to Norway to find their Norwegian match. Casting for Season 2 will take place this Sunday in Ballard.
O’Connor Casting Company is holding an open casting call on Sunday, July 1, for single Norwegian-Americans interested in being on Season 2 of “Sons of Norway”, a reality TV dating series shooting in America and Norway.
Producers are looking for four single, adventurous and open-minded Norwegian-Americans who are seriously searching for true love.
The “twist” is that they will be taking a giant love leap across the pond.
“It’s a really cool concept. Four single Americans of Norwegian descent will fly to Norway to meet 32 single Norwegians. Each American will then choose four Norwegians who they’ll fly to America with and go on a series of dates," said casting producer Joan O’Connor in a press release. “Finally, each American picks one Norwegian with whom they have a connection, and they fly back to Norway where they’ll date while immersing themselves in their suitor’s country, culture and life. Hopefully romance will blossom.”
To be eligible, applicants must be of Norwegian descent, at least 20 years old, and single. Sexual-orientation doesn't matter. Applicants can be divorced, widowed, or have kids.
Chosen participants will travel to Norway twice. Shoot dates are sporadic between October and December, 2012. Shoot time will be a total of about 9 days in America and 2 separate weeks in Norway. All travel related expenses will be paid.
“Sons of Norway 2” will air only in Norway.
The Open Call will be held on Sunday, July 1st, from 9 a.m. till 4 p.m. at the Sons of Norway Leif Erikson Lodge, 2245 NW 57th St. To reserve a VIP spot email castingnorway@gmail.com
