The casting information for a new reality series for MTV about – well, you’ll see – and entitled Fandom Rising starts out with a warning: “From the Masterminds of Jersey Shore“. Is it a trap, Admiral, if they give you such an obvious red flag? But then they lure us in with the idea that we are valued, and special. Here’s the text, followed by the extremely cool recruitment poster:

From the Masterminds of Jersey Shore Comes a New Vision for the Future of Television

SEEKING: 8 STRANGERS FOR A MISSION
TO EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS, TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFESTYLES AND RELATIONSHIPS
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO FANBOY OR FANGIRL HAS GONE BEFORE.

Doron Ofir Casting and 495 Productions is proud to launch the search for the most passionately obsessed, proudly self-identified pop culture fanatics from the worlds of comics, graphic novels, sci-fi, anime, manga, video games, toys, movies, and television.

If you are a guy or girl who gets all the references in The Big Bang Theory, quotes the Original Trilogy, revels in spotting Cylons among us, joins the horde, wishes to attend Hogwarts, Starfleet Academy, or Xavier’s School for the Gifted, and reveres masters of science fiction and fantasy, we want you!!! We’re looking for those who value brains over brawn, substance over status quo, and march to the beat of their own cantina band.

You may live on “an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of the universe,” within a wrinkle in time, playng out a game of thrones and living within the romance of love with the undead, but you make the most out of it. Your lief is filled with the exquisite, the extraordinary, the exceptional… whether you’re ridiculed or respected for it, your time has come.

Join the Fandom Rising!

You are officially being summoned for an experimental documentary series that takes a deeper look at the lives and relationships of people who love fantasy, fiction, cosplay, comics, gaming and science.
