LIVINGtv Commissions The Real Extras

LONDON, October 19: LIVINGtv has commissioned TwoFour
Broadcast to produce an 8×1-hour factual entertainment series that goes behind
the scenes at the British extras agency Envenio.

The Real Extras will
offer an in-depth look at Envenio, which represents about 10,000 extras. The
series will showcase some of these individuals. “While Ricky Gervais has given
us a cheeky peek into the world of extras, The Real Extras will go all the way in exposing this previously
unknown yet fascinating side of show business,” said Clare Hollywood, the
senior commissioning editor at LIVINGtv. “It’s tough enough being an actor but
what about the hopes and broken dreams of extras? Envenio is giving us
unprecedented never seen before access to the lives of their extras, right from
the castings through to the jobs themselves.”
