Spinks Park will be barricaded from 3pm today, as film production crews prepare for tomorrow’s filming of Netflix comedy series, God's Favorite Idiot.

Conway Street will also be closed tomorrow from 7am to 7pm, from roundabout to roundabout, including the TAFE. Little Dawson Street will be closed too.

The barriers at Spinks Park will be erected at 165 Molesworth Street alongsidethe park, Lismore Municipal Building and the car park behind the building. Film crew support vehicles will be parked on site tomorrow between 5am and 7pm while filming is underway.

Produced by Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy, God's Favorite Idiot is a workplace comedy about a mid-level tech support employee Clark Thompson (Falcone) who finds love with co-worker Amily Luck (McCarthy) at exactly the same time he becomes the unwitting messenger of God.

The series is being filmed in various locations across New South Wales over the next few months, with a $10 million grant from the Federal Government’s Location Incentive program and Screen NSW’s Made in NSW Fund. The production is expected to employ more than 300 Australian cast and crew.

Producer and actress Melissa McCarthy said “to have the opportunity to safely film our show in a beautiful country like Australia is a dream come true”.

“We love this country, and the talented people who live and work here. A special thank you to Chris, Luke, and Liam Hemsworth for volunteering to carry us to and from work with their wonderful powerful arms.”
