PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - The second season of "American Rust" is looking for paid core background extras. 

"American Rust," filming in the Pittsburgh area starting at the end of November, stars Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney. 

Core background extras can expect to work one to 10 days a month through May, getting paid about $175 for 12 hours. The show needs people to play a range of roles from detectives to steel workers to lawyers. 

Despite Showtime not ordering a second season, "American Rust" was picked up by Amazon Freevee.

The family drama follows "the tattered American dream through the eyes of complicated and compromised Chief of Police Del Harris in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania," according to IMDb.

Applications can be submitted online.
