Compensation ranges from $200–$250 per episode (20–24 pages), depending on the quality of writing, level of skill, and strength of dialogue. This rate also includes contributions beyond the script itself—such as developing plotlines, shaping character arcs, and crafting action sequences and key story moments.

I’m currently looking to bring on one additional writer for this season. At the moment, episodes are being written by myself alongside one other writer, but the team will expand as the series progresses.

Even if you’re not selected this time, you’re encouraged to audition again for future casting calls, as more writing opportunities will open up. One tip I always use: characters shouldn’t sound perfect. They interrupt each other, talk over one another, and sometimes can’t even finish a sentence—especially when they’re stressed, in shock or out of breath.

-For those who want to go the extra mile, I’ll provide 3 optional writing prompts—Be sure to write around 5-6 lines each—to help you showcase your take on the characters, dialogue and setting.

1, The group sets up camp for the first time in a valley, Troy studies the environment. Cecil and Kirby focus on securing the perimeter, As night falls, strange sounds echo through the trees—reminding them they are no longer at the top of the food chain.

2, After a sudden raptor attack forces the group to scatter, Troy, Kirby and Martin are separated from the Cecil and Kenzie as they make their way to the cliff side.

3, During a rare quiet moment at camp, the group talks—really talks—for the first time. Small talk. Fears come out. Regrets. What they left behind.
