An untitled spinoff of the hit FX show \u201cSnowfall\u201d will film scenes on Tuesday at the Louis Burger III in downtown Long Beach.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s filming at the popular eatery on the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Sixth Street will feature prop weapons, cars and a bus with actors walking outside the restaurant, driving nearby and entering the restaurant, according to a notice posted on nearby homes.<\/p>\n

Characters will also smoke herbal cigarettes and simulate business operations.<\/p>\n

Written and executive produced by Malcolm Spellman, the spinoff is set in \u201990s Los Angeles, not long after the end of the original series. It centers on a recovering addict who aims to launch a rap career in the midst of gang wars while navigating record labels that look to exploit artists for their own gain, according to Deadline.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Louis Burger was closed on Monday as crews brought in lifts and began setting up for filming. Several would-be diners walked away dismayed.<\/p>\n

Filming will take place from 6 a.m. through 8 p.m. Tuesday, with parking prohibited in a one-block radius around the restaurant from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday. Sixth Street will be shut down from Linden Avenue to Atlantic Avenue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

There will also be intermittent traffic controls from Seventh Street to Fifth Street, at the Sixth and Atlantic intersection and from Atlantic Avenue to Lime Avenue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and after 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnowfall,\u201d set in the early 1980s, examined the emergence of the crack epidemic in Los Angeles and its ties to the Central Intelligence Agency\u2019s fight against communism.<\/p>\n
