Starting Over Is Casting Nationwide

Starting Over is looking for extraordinary women who want to make extraordinary changes in their lives. If you are a passionate, motivated individual aged 18 or older who is willing to relocate to Los Angeles for 6 to 10 weeks, we'd like to help you!

In your submission, please be sure to clearly state what your goal would be on the show. What problems do you need to solve and up until now, what have been your impediments? What dreams have you been trying to achieve? What sort of help do you need? Please be as specific as possible!

Starting Over is currently seeking couples for special episodes of Season 3. If you are in a committed relationship, are currently having difficulties with your partner or spouse, and would like to receive couples counseling while staying the Starting Over house, then we want to hear from you!

All types of couples (married, engaged, dating, same-sex, common-law, etc.) will be considered- as long as you are in a serious relationship.

To apply, please attend one of our casting calls or submit a casting tape following the guidelines below. If you submit a tape, please write "Couples" in large letters on the envelope in addition to the standard information. If you attend a casting call, bring your spouse or partner with you, and be sure to let the casting director know you are applying as a couple.

Note: Your partner MUST be willing to appear on the show AND stay in the Starting Over house with you
