“This Country” is the American remake of the BBC comedic series, produced and written by Jenny Bick (“The Greatest Showman,” “Sex in the City”) and directed by Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids”). The mockumentary — starring Chelsea Holmes, Sam Straley and Sean William Scott — explores the life of a pair of cousins in the rural town of Flatch, Ohio, who are followed by a documentary film crew.
The show began filming in Wilmington at the beginning of the year but had to shut down because of Covid-19. Filming will be up and running again from mid-November through mid-March.
According to a press release, extras will be paid a standard $64 per eight-hour day and time and a half for every hour that exceeds eight. All extras who are cast will be required to take a Covid-19 test three days prior to their start date, as scheduled by the production’s Covid testing crew. There will be a $20 bump in pay per test taken.
