The Fox television show - centred on an outlaw motorcycle club in California - is set to start filming a number of scenes in the city next week.
With fans eagerly awaiting the third series, it will see some of the action move to Belfast as part of a storyline arc exploring the bikers' long-standing connection to the city - through their illegal gun-running for the fictional 'True IRA' and the motorcycle club's local charter.
The show, created by Kurt Sutter, stars British actor Charlie Hunnam - complete with convincing US accent - as the increasingly disillusioned young vice president of the motorcycle club his now deceased father founded.
Unhappy with the direction the club is headed in, Hunnam as Jax Teller frequently clashes with his mother Gemma's (played by the award-winning Katey Sagal) new husband and club president, Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman).
As part of the Belfast filming, local producers are seeking a number of body doubles - some of which must be able to confidently ride a Harley Davidson.
Doubles are needed for characters including Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), Opie Winston (Ryan Hurst), Chibs Telford (Tommy Flanagan) and Happy (David Labrava).
A double for Gemma Teller-Morrow (Katey Sagal) is also required, but need not be a motorcycle rider.
According to details released during the casting call, height and build are the most important features to match up. Age, facial hair, hair length and colour are also quite important, but make-up and wigs can be of assistance.
Anyone interested should be available for filming on days between 15 and 23 July, although they will not be required for more than four days during that period.
