AB Media Publishing, LLC
The hit NBC science fiction television drama series "Revolution" has been renewed for a full 22-episode second season, and the show has moved shooting locations from Wilmington, North Carolina to Austin, Texas. The series casting directors are auditioning actors for new recurring, guest starring, and day player roles. In addition, the local Austin casting director is seeking talent to work as series regular extras for the entire second season. Shooting will take place from July 5, 2013 through April 30, 2013.
"Revolution" takes place in a post-apocalyptic world 15 years after a technological blackout causes computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights to stop working. The show centers on a "family" - both biological and chosen - that struggles to reunite with one another. Charlotte "Charlie" Matheson is a strong-willed young woman who's brother Danny is kidnapped by Monroe Republic Militia and eventually killed by random helicopter gunfire. Charlie must team with a rogue band of survivors to overthrow the militia, and attempt to re-establish the Unites States of America. The underlying mystery is always there... why did the power fail, and will it ever return?
Returning for season two of "Revolution" is the beautiful and talented Saturn Award nominated Greek-Canadian actress Tracy Spiridakos playing the role of Charlie Matheson. Also starring in the series is Saturn Award nominee Billy Burke in the role of former U.S. Marine Corps sergeant Miles Matheson; Primetime Emmy Award nominee Elizabeth Mitchell plays Ben's wife and Charlie and Danny's mother Rachel Matheson; Zak Orth portrays the character Aaron Pittman, a former Google executive and friend of Charlie's father Ben; Primetime Emmy Award nominee Giancarlo Esposito is Major Tom Neville; Imagen Award nominee JD Pardo plays the role of former Monroe Militia Lieutenant Jason Neville; and Logie Award nominee David Lyons plays President/General Sebastian "Bass" Monroe.

Directors:
Various directors work different episodes during the season. In television shows composed of individual episodes, the television director's role differs from that of a film director in that he or she may work only on some television episodes as opposed to the director of an entire film production. In episodic television productions, the major creative control resides with a producer of the show. The television producer with creative control is called the showrunner (in this case, Eric Kripke).

Story:
Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet culde-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman’s (Tracy Spiridakos) life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
