Smash TV series calls for extras ahead of season 2 filming on mid-island
NANAIMO — Hallmark Channel will be back on the mid-island for a second season of the television series Chesapeake Shores.
Local casting for extras is underway for the series which will begin filming April 17. Shooting was done primarily in Oceanside last year, but casting director Jacqui Kaese said they’ll add more Nanaimo locations this time.
“I’ve read the first two scripts and I’m so excited,” Kaese said. “It confirms that we’re going to be shooting more locations in Nanaimo this year, which is so, so exciting for our community.”
The production last year led to a huge boost to the economies of Parksville and Nanaimo. Kaese said the series was also a hit with viewers.
