Amazon’s original series “Red Oaks” has been renewed for a second season and casting directors are looking for extras to appear in an upcoming episode that is being filmed. “Set in suburban New Jersey in 1985, Red Oaks centers around college student David Meyer–a young man at a crossroads as he tries to figure out who he is and what he wants to be in this world. He gets a summer job as an assistant tennis pro at the Red Oaks Country Club and while there, David finds himself the recipient of unsolicited life advice from a colorful group of coworkers and club members”.
