A popular TV show has been filming at one of Vancouver's oldest hotels this week.
Yellowjackets is a survival epic about a group of "wildly talented" teenage soccer players who must survive in the wilderness following a plane crash, according to IMDb.
The Showtime series stars Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, and Sophie Nélisse.
The show filmed scenes in early July on West Pender Street and at David Lam Park, including a late-night shoot.
Filming for the production is expected to occur again through Friday at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, which opened in 1939 and is known as the "Castle in the City."

Yellowjackets S3 BC Productions Inc. sent letters to residents in the hotel area notifying them of filming that commenced on Tuesday, July 23 and will continue through Friday.
A small crew arrived Monday to prepare the inside of the hotel for filming. Scenes are expected to be filmed until Friday morning inside the building.
Temporary "no stopping" zones include:
- North side of Alberni Street from Burrard Street to Thurlow Street
