The show will feature will feature seven families competing in challenges at various American landmarks. And producers are on the hunt for families in the Boston area.
According to the casting call, they're looking for "outgoing, fun-loving, dynamic families for the cross-country trip of a lifetime."
Over the course of eight episodes, the eclectic crew of families will travel through large and small cities while competing against each other in challenges that are set against iconic American backdrops including the Grand Canyon and Washington Monument, as well as more obscure tourist destinations such as the World's Largest Chair and a sneaker the size of a car.
Based on the description, casting scouts are looking for archetypes like the "real-life Griswolds," "Red Sox fanatics" and the "ultimate Trekkie family."
Produced by BBC Worldwide, one family will be eliminated each week based on their performance in the challenges. The last family standing will win a so-called "dream prize." Also, all families that participate in the show will receive a stipend of $2,000 each week .
