The German hit series »Babylon Berlin« is entering its fourth season - and the makers apparently have big plans.

According to a call by the Filmgesichter agency, over 2000 extras from the Berlin / Brandenburg area will be cast for the production.

Even if the number of amateur actors sought is immense, there are several selection criteria for participation.

For example, it is said that men must not be taller than 1.85 meters - the series played in the 1920s and 1930s.

For them, the age should be between 18 and 50 years, but for women it doesn't matter.

Interested beards shouldn't be too attached to their facial hair.

"Beards are undesirable (with the exception of full beards for older men)," says the advertisement.

Women should have "bob hairs."

A willingness to compromise is also required when it comes to main hair.

In order to participate, every man must be "ready for a 'style cut'".

The latter is at least paid extra.

With women, the "pageboy / bob haircut" is in demand.

According to the agency, "emaciated" looking women and men, "preferably with lively faces and / or lean bodies," as they say, are to be filled.

The series should remain true to its roots: In addition to the lavish parties in Berlin in the interwar years, the great poverty in some parts of the city was always shown.

Otherwise, the scriptwriters and directors Henk Handloegten, Achim von Borries and Tom Tykwer orientated themselves at least roughly to historical events.

According to the agency, the fourth season will be shot in spring and summer 2021 in Berlin and Brandenburg.
