CEDAR RAPIDS | A new world is coming. Will you be chosen to create it?

Fox TV will be casting for its new reality series, "Utopia," from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 19 during the Cedar Rapids Mini Makers Faire at the Cedar Rapids Science Center.

In a bold, new social experiment, "Utopia," will move 15 everyday Americans to an isolated, undeveloped location for an entire year and challenge them to create their own civilization.

The show is looking for strong individuals who will create this new world on live television to see if they have what it takes to work together and create a new society from scratch.

Casting directors are looking for diverse people with diverse beliefs to help start this new community. "Utopia" needs a variety of skill sets, such as dairy farmers, cheese makers, home brewers, chefs, winemakers, electricians, plumbers, contractors, gardeners, farmers, artisans, bike enthusiasts, ministers, doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, etc.

The pioneers will make every decisions about how they will live and work and what the rules and laws of Utopia will be.

Participants must be a legal U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident, at least 21 years old and able to commit to a full year as a “Utopia” pioneer.
