The post reads as follows:

‘Sonia Allam Casting are beginning the search for various roles in a new, untitled 10-part comedy-drama series for CBBC, filming in Manchester during Summer 2026.

We are seeking talented children with a ‘playing age’ of 10 (real age 10–13), based in and around Greater Manchester and the North West, with a native Northern accent.

We strongly encourage young performers of all backgrounds, genders, races and abilities.

No professional experience is needed, however, some drama experience or good natural acting ability and confidence in front of the camera is ideal!
Great comic timing would be a bonus!
