Two new FOX shows are back in production with new seasons. Fox’s hit music oriented shows Empire and Star are now filming in the Chicago area and there are new casting calls out for locals who would like to work as paid extras on either of the shows.
Please see the details below. The show’s casting team is also accepting general submissions for upcoming episodes and will be filming in the Chicago area. Lee Daniels’ edgy, hip hop music oriented drama is back. “Empire” has returned to production in Chicago and is currently only interested in talent that is local to the Chicago area. Production on the show is beginning and if the new season schedule follows the previous season, then the show will be filming all the way into the winter months.
”Empire” focuses on self made music mogul Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard, his music label, Empire Entertainment and the family drama over who gets to control the company. “Star” is another music oriented drama and season 1 premiered last year. Both shows film in Chicago and casting directors are only considering talent that is local to the Chicago area.

Below is more information on the Minor’s Portal Process.
The 4 Star Casting POP Portal for MINORS is now up and running.
The process is slightly different – you will need to visit our website @ www.4starcasting.com
to upload your children’s information to the minors’ POP portal.
You will need a separate, unique email for your children (if you, the parent, are registered on our Adult POP portal, it must be a different email). Each and every child must have his or her own email address that will link to his or her own profile.
You can find the paperwork required, including the Parent/Legal Guardian Data Collection Parental Verification and Consent affidavit (which is a new legal document, and not the parental form required to obtain the work permit), in the paperwork for minors on our website. The parent affidavit is required for all children 17 and under. 18 and older should use the adult POP portal. The PARENT AFFIDAVIT MUST be uploaded as a pdf.
You must also upload each child’s work permit – which should be named with your child’s first and last name, name of the employer listed on the work permit and the date of issue of the work permit (current and valid, it expires one year from issue date).
Children who are 16 and 17 will require a document that proves age, i.e. driver’s license, state ID, school ID, passport and/or birth certificate. PROOF OF AGE MUST be uploaded as jpeg or png.
If you do not upload the forms (proof of age and parent affidavit) in the required format, then your children’s profiles will hover in an uncompleted, pending application.
If you are having issues – send your children’s names and the email you used to create their profiles in an email to either the show you are trying to submit your child for and/or to 4starcasting@gmail.com with the subject line: MINORS’ PORTAL UPLOAD ISSUES. We can not look up or help without the information requested.
If your children’s information changes, i.e. look, height and weight, measurements, make sure to log on the computer and update the sizes.
You should have a minimum of TWO photos in your children’s profile, including CURRENT LOOK: FRONT (FACE) AND RECENT NON-PRO BODY SHOT (FULL BODY).
If in the past, you mistakenly registered your children on our Adult POP database, please send an email to 4starcasting@gmail.com with your children’s names and the emails the profiles were registered under, so that we can delete and/or make those accounts inactive.
