Inside Broadway Stages | What's Filming
/We are excited to have several productions returning to our stages to film their new seasons. Read on to find out more about what's happening at our facilities.
Prime Video's "Harlem" Filming Season Three in New York City
Last month, filming commenced on the third season of the comedy series "Harlem," nearly a year after the final season two episode dropped on Prime Video. When we last saw the ladies of "Harlem" in February of 2023, Camille (Meagan Good) was looking to get back on track following some life-changing decisions. Tye (Jerrie Johnson) was attempting to connect with others while dealing with her divorce, and Quinn (Grace Byers) was seeking balance and stability. Angie (Shoniqua Shandai) was hoping for a change of luck.
Shandai recently spoke to New York City news network WPIX about how much fun she and her co-stars are having filming season three. We don't know when the new season will drop, but we will be sure to let you know as soon as we have some more updates!
Netflix Rom-Com "The Life List" Names Cast Members
Disney Channel star Sofia Carson will play the lead in a film adaptation of Lori Nelson Spielman's 2013 novel "The Life List." The popular book centers on a woman who attempts to complete a bucket list she put together when she was 14 years old. Will she finally fall in love and go to Paris, like she thought she would 20 years ago? Or will this journey take her somewhere else?
Carson is known for her starring role in the Disney Channel Original Movie "Descendants" and its sequels and spinoffs, as well as the network's 2016 remake of "Adventures in Babysitting." She is no stranger to Netflix, as she also starred in the streaming service's 2022 film "Purple Hearts."
Kyle Allen ("American Horror Story"), Connie Britton ("The White Lotus"), and Sebastian De Souza ("The Great") will also appear in the romantic comedy that is currently in pre-production. We are excited to welcome the cast and crew to our facilities later this year!
"Girls5Eva" Cast Making the Talk Show Rounds
The critically acclaimed comedy "Girls5Eva" ran for two seasons on Peacock before it was canceled. Netflix picked up the show for a third season, which dropped earlier this month. The show follows the four members of a once popular '90s girl group (Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell, and Busy Philipps) who are now in their 40s and staging a comeback.
Several of the show's stars have appeared on talk shows this month to discuss the new season. Pell and Bareilles appeared separately on "Late Night With Seth Meyers," while Goldsberry sat down for an in-depth interview with Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta of "The Daily Show." All four recently joined Drew Barrymore on her show to get nostalgic about the late '90s.
The girls are clearly happy to be back, and we are too! The new season of "Girls5Eva" is getting really great reviews. All three seasons are available to watch now on Netflix.
"Evil" Creators Announce Four Bonus Episodes
Last month, Paramount+ announced that it would not renew the supernatural drama "Evil" for a fifth season. However, the streaming service did allow creators Robert and Michelle King to add four extra episodes to the final season, raising the episode count from 10 to 14.
The paranormal series, which began airing on CBS in 2019, follows a forensic psychologist (Katja Herbers) who partners with a technical contractor (Aasif Mandvi) and Catholic priest-in-training (Mike Colter) to investigate supernatural events. Broadway Stages has provided facilities for the show's entire four-season run.
The Kings have told several news sources that they are not shopping the series to other networks or streaming services, and they said the additional episodes should provide closure for fans and allow the show to wrap up some loose ends. We have truly enjoyed having the cast and crew film at our facilities all these years, and they will always be a part of the Broadway Stages family.
"The Girls on the Bus" Cast Discuss Show, Share Reactions to Racy Fantasy Sequence
The first three episodes of the political drama "The Girls on the Bus" are now streaming on Max, and a new episode is dropping on Thursdays through May 9. The series draws inspiration from New York Times journalist Amy Chozick's 2018 book "Chasing Hillary," about her time reporting on Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns.
Melissa Benoist ("Supergirl") stars as Sadie McCarthy, a young journalist who dreams of covering a presidential campaign. Carla Gugino ("The Haunting of Hill House"), Natasha Behnam ("Blake & Emily Get Famous"), and Christina Elmore ("Insecure") respectively play fellow journalists Grace, Lola, and Kimberlyn who befriend McCarthy on the campaign trail.
Scott Foley ("Scandal"), who plays longshot candidate Hayden Wells Garrett, appeared on "Good Morning America" a few weeks ago to talk about the show. He has more recently been making headlines for his performance in a fantasy sequence in the third episode, in which the 51-year-old actor stripteases to Ginuwine's 1996 hit "Pony," a song associated with the "Magic Mike" film franchise.
It looks like the show is off to a great start! Congrats to everyone involved.
