It is nearly fall, which means many of your favorite shows will be returning very soon! Lots of productions filmed at our facilities over the summer, and we can't wait to see the result of all of that hard work. Read on to find out more about what's happening at our facilities.

"The Instigators" a Hit for Apple TV+

Crime caper "The Instigators" was the most-streamed film the week it debuted, with viewers watching nearly 370 million minutes of the film during the week of August 9.

Matt Damon and Casey Affleck star as two thieves who go on the run with one of their therapists after a botched robbery. Oscar nominee Hong Chau ("The Whale") plays the reluctant yet supportive therapist who goes along for the ride. Though the film is set in Boston, scenes were shot at our facilities in Glendale, Queens.

The film reunited director Doug Liman ("Swingers") with Damon more than two decades after they collaborated in the 2002 blockbuster "The Bourne Identity." Paul Walter Hauser ("Black Bird"), Michael Stuhlbarg ("Call Me By Your Name"), Ving Rhames ("Mission: Impossible" franchise), Alfred Molina ("Spider-Man" franchise), Toby Jones ("Harry Potter" franchise), rapper Jack Harlow, and Ron Perlman ("Hellboy" franchise) co-star in the buddy comedy.

Affleck recently sat down with Seth Meyers to talk about the film and his desire to work on more comedies. There are also reports that the two actors are in talks with Apple TV+ to do a sequel. We'll let you know as soon as we find out more!

"Godfather of Harlem" Adds to Cast for Season Four

The fourth season of the MGM+ series "Godfather of Harlem" will include several new faces as the show continues to tell the story of infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Forrest Whitaker), who spent 11 years behind bars at Alcatraz then returned to New York in the early 1960s to find the neighborhood he once ruled controlled by the Italian mob.

Erik Palladino ("Suits") will portray the notorious hitman Giuseppe "Pino" Greco in a recurring role in the new season. Greco was a callous killer and high-ranking member of the Sicilian Mafia. In the upcoming season he will reportedly be vying for power in competition with Stella Gigante (Lucy Fry), daughter of Chin Gigante (Vincent D'Onofrio).

As we previously reported, Rome Flynn will also be joining the cast in the upcoming season. He will play the infamous drug lord Frank Lucas, memorably depicted by Denzel Washington in the 2007 film "American Gangster." MGM+ recently dropped a photo of Flynn as Lucas.

The network has not revealed a release date for the new season, but we will report back once we get the details!

Additional Stars Join "The Gilded Age" for Season Three

In July we reported that Phylicia Rashad, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Jordan Donica, and Victoria Clark had joined the cast of HBO's "The Gilded Age" in recurring roles. We recently learned that even more notable actors and actresses will be appearing in the new season, joining a massive ensemble cast that includes myriad Tony Award winners.

Bill Camp ("The Queen's Gambit") will portray the legendary financier J.P. Morgan, who will serve as an antagonist of the show's fictional railroad tycoon George Russell (Morgan Spector). Merritt Wever ("Nurse Jackie") will play the estranged sister of Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon).

Jessica Frances Dukes ("Ozark"), LisaGay Hamilton ("The Practice"), Andrea Martin ("Evil"), Hattie Morahan ("Enola Holmes"), Leslie Uggams ("Roots"), and Broadway star Paul Alexander Nolan will also appear in the new season.

Over the summer, the lavish production sought out aspiring costume designers for paid on-the-job training. We have previously written about all of the hard work that goes into the show's immaculately crafted costumes and the production's use of local artisans to authentically capture the time period. In fact, the second season employed more than 1,500 people, supported more than 250 local businesses, and pumped more than $100 million into the local economy. All of that hard work has been recognized this year with a Primetime Emmy Awards nomination for Outstanding Period Costumes for a Series.

"Elsbeth" Announces First Guest Star of Season Two

CBS has announced that Nathan Lane will be the first guest star on the second season of its hit series "Elsbeth." Lane is no stranger to Broadway Stages, as he also appears in a recurring role on "The Gilded Age," and he played a recurring character in "The Good Wife," the series that launched spin-offs "The Good Fight" and "Elsbeth." It seems highly unlikely that Lane will be returning as the lawyer and accountant Clarke Hayden who appeared in multiple episodes of "The Good Wife." More likely, he will play either a murderer or murder victim in the October 17 premiere, much like Linda Lavin (who also appeared on both series) did.

"Elsbeth," starring Carrie Preston as the quirky attorney Elsbeth Tascioni who is now helping the NYPD solve crimes, has been popular with both critics and viewers. The whodunit show is now available to watch in multiple countries including the UK, Australia, and France. Its popularity led to the second season consisting of 20 episodes, twice as many as the first. We are thrilled at its success and can't wait for the new season!
