'Roseanne' star filming pilot for HBO in Lowcountry. More than 1,000 extras are needed

John Goodman will star as a televangelist in a pilot for HBO being filmed starting in mid-July in the Charleston area, according to multiple media reports.

"The Righteous Gemstones" is about a "world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work," according to The Wrap, which reported that Danny McBride also will star.

Deadline Hollywood said Goodman and McBride will be father and son on screen with the younger generation seeking to modernize the ministry and "create a path of his own."

McBride's former "Vice Principals" co-star Edi Patterson will play his sister on this show, reported TV Line.

At least 1,500 extras of all ages and all races will be needed for filming, according to Tona B. Dahlquist Casting agency, which posted on Facebook that filming would run from mid-July through Aug. 3.
