LINCOLN SQUARE — Netflix has yet to officially announce a second season of its Chicago-set original series "Easy," but episodes are most definitely being filmed around town.

The production, helmed by Lincoln Square resident Joe Swanberg, was spotted Tuesday in North Center and filming notices were posted on Wolcott Avenue in Bowmanville for Wednesday.

A casting call for "Easy" extras went out in late March, looking for "authentic people" to play hipsters for "coffee shop, record store, bookstore scenes" and females of "all ethnicities" to portray burlesque class students — "some ability to dance/move your body" required.

Season One of "Easy," which debuted on Netflix in fall 2016, highlighted neighborhood joints across the North Side. Swanberg's next feature "Win It All," which starts streaming Friday on Netflix, is sure to do the same.
