The hit show's next season has started auditions for extras, while lead cast members have started their wardrobe fittings, according to Kveller.

"Mask game strong. Hat game stronger," said Golden Globe winner Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Miriam "Midge" Maisel, on Instagram. "We're slowly and safely getting back to it, but first costume fitting is in the books. Damn, it feels good to be (almost) back."

The fourth season is set to start shooting in New York after January 20, and those who live in or around the metropolitan area have an opportunity to be casted as an extra in the weeks to come.

According to Kveller, the creative team is currently casting "1960s attractive girlfriend types" ages 18-40, and "$210/12 hrs. for nonunion talent, with a $60 stipend for COVID test. SAG-AFTRA rates apply for SAG-AFTRA members."

The creators of the show explained that many of the show's elements are going to have to be adapted to accommodate the current health crisis, as well as putting restrictions on large gatherings.

"There will be a lot more visual effects because there are limits to what we can do," writer Dan Palladino said, according to Kveller. "Last season, our premiere had 850 extras in an airplane hangar. We cannot do that."
