The casting call reads: "We are currently on the lookout for lots of background artists for filming in Liverpool on the cult 90s film starring Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley 'Sexy Beast' the prequel.
"If you would like to be considered for this filming then please email the below address with front, back and side selfies with the word LIVERPOOL in the subject bar. All ages 18-80. Email: christine@impactcasting.co.uk
"Please include your contact number, where you are based, DOB and measurements (height, waist, shoe, chest/bust, hips.) We look forward to hearing from you."
The eight-part series will be released on Paramount+ later this year as a prequel to the 2000 gangster classic film Sexy Beast. The drama follows the lives of small-time thieves who get mixed up in the London criminal world and the cast includes James McArdle (Mare of Easttown) and Emun Elliott (The Rig).
Sarah Greene (Normal People), Stephen Moyer (True Blood) and Tamsin Greig (Friday Night Dinner) will also star in the new series. Liverpool doubles as East London in the 1990s in Sexy Beast, which has been written by showrunner Michael Caleo, one of the lead writers on the iconic HBO series The Sopranos.
During earlier filming, Anfield's Jumbo Cafe became "Copper Grill", while Bingley Road's street sign was changed to Strawberry Lane Crews also visited Fulwood Park in Aigburth in December as a leafy lined area of the park became Kensington Palace Road.
