SHRUNKNOW CASTING KIDS AGES 9–12!
Are you ready for a once in a lifetime adventure? Casting is now open for the FIRST season of SHRUNK, and we are searching for kids ages 9-12 in Canada.
SHRUNK is an incredible, ground-breaking kids’ competition reality series where teams of two tackle spectacular challenges with one complication – they’re shrunk down to one inch tall!We’ve all imagined what it be like to be “shrunk”. Floating in cereal bowls or diving into candy jars…running under doorways, through keyholes or inside a clock to see how it ticks…dangling from a string of Christmas lights or hitching a ride on our favourite giant-sized pet.
This epic new series will showcase three teams of two getting a chance to live the dream as they shrink down and compete in a one-of-a-kind playground of epic proportions! Every day places are transformed into magical new worlds – straight out of our wildest childhood imaginations.
Think your child is ready to take on a giant world? Apply below!This application should be completed by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of their child.
