Drama Series Production

Here is how the work lines up. New York is Hollywood East for prestige drama — the production base that delivered The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, 30 Rock, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Succession, Billions, Pose, Russian Doll, Severance, Only Murders in the Building, Inventing Anna and The Deuce.

Here is the breakdown. Maisel and Sex and the City shot, the Steiner Studios complex at the Brooklyn Navy Yard where Severance and Vinyl built worlds, the Kaufman Astoria backlot home to Orange Is the New Black, York Studios in the Bronx, JC Studios in Brooklyn where Boardwalk Empire built its 1920s docks, and Broadway Stages across Greenpoint. Key crew come through IATSE Local 52, Local 600 cinematographers East, Local 161 script supervisors, Local 798 makeup, the Costume Designers Guild and Teamsters Local 817 — with DGA East and WGA East lining up creative leadership.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Period drama is one of New York's signature outputs. We set up with the costume houses at Eastern Costume, Helen Uffner Vintage Leasing and Western Costume's New York operations, prop suppliers across Brooklyn and Long Island City, and the heritage districts that anchor authentic period work — the Brooklyn Heights brownstones, the cobblestone DUMBO and Tribeca streets, the Gilded Age Fifth Avenue mansions, and the preserved Lower East Side tenements at the Tenement Museum. Modern series shoot across Manhattan high-rises, Brooklyn neighborhoods, Queens immigrant corridors, and the Hudson Yards HBO headquarters.

Here is how the picture comes together. Production routes through the NYS Film Tax Credit at 30 percent base, the 10 percent NYC uplift on qualifying spend, the 30-35 percent post-prod credit and the 35 percent upstate uplift, with NYC MOME Made in NY permits, Empire State Development reporting, and post-prod finishing through Goldcrest, Harbor, Light Iron and the Manhattan audio post houses delivering to streamer tech specs.
