The upcoming auditions for what is set to be this year's hottest UK online series 'Unfamous' is here.
Unfamous is sponsored by Defenders Entertainment's 'This Is UK Rap Vol. 1'. The story is based on the hit online books by Swear Down TV's Scotty Unfamous.
Set deep in the heart of London’s elitist youth-society, 'The Unfamous' follows the story of Rio Greene's first year in university. Tired of being overlooked by her peers, Rio devises a plan to make herself "bait" -or as she likes to call it 'Unfamous' -but along the way her past catches up with her and drives her to do things that she never would have dreamed of doing, in order to 'make it' in 'their world'.
The Unfamous books alone have gained WORLDWIDE attention and (so far) has been read collectively over 81,600 times on Wattpad.com. In 2010 the Flourish Drama Company adapted Unfamous into a hugely successful stage play, and it became the FIRST production to SELL OUT the Lost Theatre since it had been built.
