<p>The Righteous Gemstones, a dark comedy series on HBO created by and starring Danny McBride, will be filming August 9 through 13 in Beaufort and is in need of paid extras.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>According to Wikipedia, the series follows a famous yet dysfunctional family of televangelists “led by widowed patriarch Eli Gemstone (John Goodman). Eli and his bickering children, Jesse (McBride), Judy (Edi Patterson), and Kelvin (Adam DeVine), live opulent lifestyles funded by their congregations' tithing, and work to expand their network of megachurches, making enemies of the pastors of existing churches.”</p>
