'Survivor' Casting Call Held In Novi

METRO DETROIT, MI – Calling the brave in Michigan. CBS 62 is looking for local adventurers, ages 18 and up, to represent Detroit on an upcoming season of Survivor on CBS.

The TV station will hold an open casting call at Value City Furniture in Novi 3-7 p.m. Wednesday, June 5. This is one of only two currently confirmed open casting events, nationwide, for the remainder of 2019 – and the only currently confirmed open casting event in the Midwest.

The June 5 open call is the first in Metro Detroit since 2017 and will be the only Metro Detroit open call this year, organizers say.

On Survivor, cameras roll 24/7 as contestants participate in both team and individual challenges, competing to keep their places on the remote location. A Tribal Council meets daily, and after group votes, competitors are eliminated and forced to extinguish their torches. Each challenge, the competition gets stiffer, emotions fly higher, and the level of perseverance demanded continues to rise.

One player is voted off each day, until one person finishes strong in the final challenge and is deemed the ‘Sole Survivor.’ Grand Prize for the winner of Survivor is $1 million.

Each applicant attending the Survivor Casting Call will need to bring a signed video release form, along with a valid United States driver’s license or passport.

Each person will be videotaped by CBS 62 and will have one minute to explain why they should be a contestant on Survivor. Video Release Form and Eligibility Requirements can be found at www.CBSDetroit.com/Survivor19.

Kyle Jason, a contestant from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, will be on-site at the event to meet and greet fans and those auditioning. Jason’s casting journey started at a CBS 62 open casting call, and he’s excited to share his experiences and engage with local Survivor hopefuls.
