A shoot for the television show "Blindspot" is expected to bring a 25-foot high fireball to the neighborhood as crews film a simulated car explosion near Sunnyside Yards, according to the city.

The stunt will take place Wednesday along 37th Avenue between 43rd and 48th streets from 1 to 6 p.m, according to a notification from the city's Office of Emergency Management posted online. Police and fire crews will be on the scene.

Fliers for the production were posted all along 37th Avenue Wednesday afternoon, along with a catering truck.

"Blindspot," which airs on NBC and stars Jaimie Alexander as a mysterious tattooed woman, has previously filmed in Clinton Hill.

The show isn't the only production to visit Sunnyside this week.

Several Twitter users reported seeing actor Tom Holland filming scenes for the upcoming "Spider-Man: Homecoming" in the neighborhood Tuesday.

The superhero blockbuster was also spotted shooting in Astoria earlier this week, the Daily Mail reported.
