LAKEVIEW — The Wachowski siblings will continue to film their Netflix series "Sense8" in Chicago this week — with a stop near Wrigley Field on Monday.

Locals can expect road closures and parking restrictions near Clark and Addison from Sunday to Tuesday, according to Ald. Tom Tunney (44th).

The Cubs won't have any home games during this time.

"Sense8" follows eight characters across the globe who suddenly become telepathically linked following a tragic death. Filming will take place in Chicago, London, Iceland, Mumbai and Nairobi, among other locations.

Andy and Lana Wachowski are perhaps best known for The Matrix trilogy and "Cloud Atlas." The Chicago natives recently filmed "Jupiter Ascending" in the city.

Crews are expected to hit Lakeview early Sunday.

There will be parking restrictions on both sides of Eddy Street, between Clark and Seminary, from 10 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Tuesday.

There will be additional parking restrictions from 10 p.m. Sunday to 8 p.m. Monday:

• south side of Addison, from Clark to Racine
• west side of Clark, from Addison to Cornelia
• both sides of Eddy, Clark to Seminary
• north side of Eddy, from Seminary to 1174 W. Eddy St.
• north side of Grace, from Clifton to 1159 W. Grace St.

If residents have and concerns or complaints, they can contact a shoot manager directly at 773-542-1820.
