Filming to start on Netflix series at Lismore museum.

Access to parts of the CBD have been restricted as filming gets under way around the museum building.

Equipment was delivered to the museum in Lismore ahead of filming for a new Netflix series.

UPDATE 2.05pm: Huge light stands and cranes carrying giant light filters dominated Spinks Park today as filming for a new Netflix series took place.

The park was closed to the public, but there were plenty of people trying to catch a glimpse of the action.

One onlooker said security guards told him he couldn't take photos of proceedings.

Another security guard said: "you can't go into the park, they're filming".

Hollywood actress Melissa McCarthy stars in the show with husband Ben Falcone, who also created it.

Support trucks line Molesworth St and production crews were set up behind the museum building to support filming.

 

Original story: The barriers are up and the equipment has rolled in as filming begins on a new Netflix series in Lismore on Wednesday.

The series, God's Favorite Idiot, starring Melissa McCarthy and created by her husband Ben Falcone, has started filming in Molesworth St around the museum building.

Crews for a new Netflix series have converged on the Lismore CBD.

Barricades have been erected to restrict parking along Molesworth St in front of the museum building, and the parking area behind it.

Trucks delivered a variety of equipment to the site on Tuesday afternoon ahead of filming.

Public access to Spinks Park has been restricted.

It tells the story of mid-level technical support employee Clark Thompson (Falcone), who finds love with a co-worker at the same time he receives a message from God.

Parts of Molesworth St have been cordoned off so a Netflix series can be filmed.
