Kildare extras needed for new Vikings series

Extras are needed for the sixth season of Vikings on the History Channel.

There will be three Open Casting days in the next two weeks - two in Dublin and one in Wicklow.

Filming will begin early next month.

A spokesperson said; "We would love to see adults of all religious and ethnic backgrounds."

To apply, people should come along to one of the Open Casting days anytime between the hours stated.

Usually filmed in Luggala and Ashford in Co Wicklow, Vikings is inspired by tales of the raiding Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia.

Cast and crew came to Kildare Town last November when scenes were filmed around in and around St Brigid's Cathedral.

A local car park and roads were sealed off for three days.
