Two television programs will be filming in Kingston over the coming months, and locals may get a chance to make guest appearances.

According to Visit Kingston, the Paramount series The Mayor of Kingstown and Amazon’s Reacher will film in the city over the spring and summer months.

Both productions are looking for background extras while they film parts of their series in the city.
