Casting calls hint that Bully 2 is in development
Fans have long been clamoring for a sequel to Bully, Rockstar’s satirical take on education and adolescence. Rumors have been swirling regarding the game’s existence for quite some time, but nothing concrete has been announced. Now, a series of casting calls may have revealed that development is indeed underway.
Casting agency Jessica Jefferies has posted a number of calls to Twitter. “We are currently casting Motion Capture Performers for an exciting new video game with a leading games developer,” the calls read. Performances would take place at Pinewood Studios UK, a famed studio that’s been around for over 80 years.
The agency tweeted out seven calls in total. That they’re for Bully 2 is unconfirmed, but one of the calls is for a college professor. “Jakob,” the callreads, is a “college professor. Scholarly and stocky, but not fat. Slightly disheveled, but witty, clever, and sarcastic.” Another call describes Amelia, a “sophisticated, mature college student.” Several of he rest of the calls are for roughly college-aged actors. You can check a couple of them out below.

Rumors about a Bully 2 have been making the rounds for a while now, but Rockstar has been steadfast in its silence. Right now, it’s concentrated on the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 at the end of this month. Following that, a transition to Bully 2 seems to be what many expect. We’ll be keeping our eyes open on this one.
