Inside Broadway Stages | What's Filming
/As we head into summer, we are excited to welcome back the stars of several of our hit shows for work on their new seasons. We are also thrilled to welcome new productions to our studios. Read on to find out more about what's happening at our facilities.
"Poker Face" Filming Season Two in New York
In the first season of Peacock's hit case-of-the-week murder mystery series "Poker Face," human lie detector Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) traveled from town to town solving crimes while hiding from casino boss Cliff LeGrand (Benjamin Bratt). In season two, Charlie will find herself in the Big Apple, and we are ecstatic to welcome the cast and crew to town.
When we last saw Charlie, she was on the run again after Cliff and rival casino owner Beatrix Hasp (voiced by Rhea Perlman) attempted to frame her for murder in Atlantic City. Following Cliff's arrest by the FBI, Charlie was given a dire choice: work with Beatrix and her crime syndicate or keep running.
Series creator Rian Johnson ("Knives Out") and sister showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman ("Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") are back in the writers' room, and filming is scheduled to begin in July.
Carrie Coon Has a Busy Summer Ahead With "The Gilded Age" and "The White Lotus"
Broadway Stages is proud to provide our facilities for HBO's popular period drama "The Gilded Age," which will be returning for a third season. Set in the early 1880s, "The Gilded Age" features an ensemble cast that includes Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon as the nouveau riche couple George and Bertha Russell who are trying to find their place in high society.
Coon has certainly found her place at HBO, as she has been cast in the third season of the network's hit satirical drama series "The White Lotus," which is filming in Thailand. Though set halfway around the world from one another and taking place more than a century apart, both series focus on the timeless struggle between the haves and the have nots. Reportedly, Coon will travel to New York in July to begin filming the new season of "The Gilded Age" immediately after wrapping up her work in Thailand.
In the season two finale, Bertha won the opera war, but it may have come at a steep price. She seemingly promised her daughter Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) to the Duke of Buckingham despite George's insistence that Gladys marry for love, not money or power.
We do not know much about what will happen in the third season, except that filming will take place across New York, with additional shoots in Providence, Rhode Island. In a recent interview with "Variety," Spector suggested that there will be drama in the Russell household. We will let you know when we find out more!
Tom Selleck and Steve Schirripa Discuss the Final Season of "Blue Bloods"
"Blue Bloods" has been a Friday night staple on CBS since 2010. Despite pleas from cast members and fans alike, the long-running drama about a family of law enforcement officials has just eight episodes remaining. Broadway Stages has been there since day one, and we will still be there cheering on the cast and crew when CBS airs the final Reagan family dinner this fall.
Tom Selleck recently appeared on CBS's "The Talk" to discuss his long career and offer advice to host Amanda Kloots, who will make a guest appearance in the final season. The TV legend has appeared as family patriarch and New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan in nearly 300 episodes of the hit show, which was the ninth most-watched TV series of the 2023-2024 season.
Additionally, actor Steve Schirripa, who has played Detective Anthony Abetemarco since 2015, recently spoke to CBS News Boston about his time on the show and discussed the mid-season finale titled "The Heart of a Saturday Night," which included a guest appearance from Aidan Quinn ("Elementary"). Schirripa is also well known for the five seasons he portrayed mobster Bobby Baccalieri on "The Sopranos."
"Evil" Drops First Two Episodes of Its Final Season
The end is near for the critically acclaimed paranormal series "Evil," with the first two episodes of the fourth and final season now streaming on Paramount+. Critics have awarded the new season a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, a rare feat also shared by season three. The final season will include 14 episodes, with a new one dropping on the streaming service every Thursday into August.
The supernatural drama 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.
"Evil" began its run on CBS in 2019 then moved to Paramount+ in 2021. Earlier this year, Netflix brought the show to even more homes, as the first two seasons are now available to watch on the streamer. Broadway Stages has provided facilities for the show's entire four-season run, and we have truly enjoyed having the cast and crew film at our facilities all these years.
Prime Video's "Harlem" Announces Recurring Cast Members for Season Three
Filming recently commenced on the third season of the comedy series "Harlem," and fans will notice several new faces when the show returns.
Robin Givens ("Batwoman") and Gail Bean ("Snowfall") will play mother and daughter Jacqueline and Eva in the coming season. Bean's Eva is a venture capitalist who begins working with Tye (Jerrie Johnson). When we last saw Tye, she was attempting to move on with her life following her divorce.
Logan Browning ("Dear White People") will portray Portia, a childhood friend of Ian's (Tyler Lepley) who has recently returned to Harlem. Does her arrival mean he and Camille (Meagan Good) are officially through?
Kofi Siriboe ("Queen Sugar") will play a professional baseball player and love interest to one of the show's leading ladies. Speaking of whom, season two ended on a major cliffhanger. Someone is pregnant, but who? Fans will have to wait until season three to find out.
"FBI" Taps New Showrunner for Season Seven
Executive producer and showrunner Rick Eid is taking a step back from "FBI" after six seasons to focus on "Law & Order" and other projects. Mike Weiss, co-creator and showrunner of Hulu's "Death and Other Details," will take over the helm in the upcoming seventh season. Weiss also spent several seasons as an executive producer on another Dick Wolf series – NBC's police procedural "Chicago P.D." He additionally produced the popular drama series "The Mentalist," which ran for seven seasons on CBS.
"FBI" and its spin-offs "FBI: Most Wanted" and "FBI: International" will all return to Tuesday nights this fall. The original "FBI" has been renewed through nine seasons, while "Most Wanted" will run for at least one more season. Both series are filmed at Broadway Stages facilities.
