After a freshman season that earned praise for its star, “Saturday Night Live” veteran Aidy Bryant, the Portland-set comedy “Shrill” is returning to the Rose City to film Season 2 this summer. Once again, extras are needed to appear in scenes of the show, which is inspired by the memoir and essay collection written by Seattle-based author Lindy West.

According to background casting director Adam Rosko’s press release, “everyone may apply.” The show is "looking for ​people of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and abilities​ to create a truthful and realistic Portland setting for a woman who wants to change her life, not her body."

Extras, stand-ins and possibly vehicles are all being sought. Extras and stand-ins will be paid $12.50 an hour, according to Rosko.

Those interested should fill out the application form (https://tinyurl.com/shrillseason2) if they’re over 18. For applicants who are younger than 18, parents should use a different form (https://tinyurl.com/shrillseason2kids)

Filming on “Shrill” Season 2 begins in July.
