On Thursday, the western portion of Depot Square (Starbucks area) will be closed from 7:30 a.m. until around noon.

In addition, traffic around the Depot Square area, which includes Main Street and Columbus Avenue, will periodically be shut down for a few minutes at a time during the shoot.

Additional shoots will be filmed during the day at indoor locations, which should not affect traffic.

On Friday, Main Street will be closed from Columbus Avenue to Terrace Place, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.

In addition, Cameron Place and Van Duzen Street will be closed, from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Multiple trailers and trucks will be parked throughout the south end of the village, which police say to keep in mind when parking Wednesday evening, Thursday and Friday.

Several police officers will be present at the film shootings to help drivers get around the closures.

Netflix says that the limited series will be a six-episode conspiracy thriller, starring Robert De Niro, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen and Connie Britton. The streaming service says that the series asks the question: "How do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control? And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?"

According to Netflix, De Niro will be playing beloved former President George Mullen who comes out of retirement to lead a commission in charge of investigating a potential world crisis.

"As a life-long fan of American cinema, no actor looms larger for me than Robert De Niro," creator and executive producer Eric Newman told Netflix. "To have him as a producing partner and star in this show is beyond our wildest dreams."

According to Backstage, a casting call was put out for actors to portray nurses, doctors, and office workers on April 26 in Tuckahoe.
