The hunt for the right girl is spanning the entire Mediterranean basin, and producers of the series are now asking Israeli casting agents to send photographs and resumes of Israeli beauties with good acting skills. Another requirement is perfect command of the English language.

According to Elback the "candidates for the part have to be of international standard, stunning and dark- skinned. They are definitely not looking for blonds here, but for a Latin look."
