TV's Hottest Club Is Philadelphia — Why This American City Is a Perfect Playground for New Shows
On May 29, 'Abbott Elementary' creator and star Quinta Brunson received the key to the city of Philadelphia. As a Philly native, Brunson never planned to set her series elsewhere. 'Abbott' is based on her own elementary school and her mother's experience as a teacher, and the show's Philadelphia setting is part of its unforgettable charm. More from IndieWire How 'A Man on the Inside' Crafted a 'True Rom-Com' Ending Without the Typical Romance Martin Scorsese and David Tedeschi on 'Beatles '64,' the Fab Four's Influence on Cinema, and David Lynch at Their First U.S. Concert 'Quinta loves Philadelphia, loves it so deeply that she pores over every little detail that is Philly specific in the show, down to what's in the vending machines in the school,' showrunner Justin Halpern told IndieWire. 'She has a deep, deep love for the city, and because of that she wants the show to feel as authentic as possible.' TV fans may have noticed that Philadelphia is having a moment; from 'Abbott' to the ongoing 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' (and their unlikely but seamless crossover) and 'Deli Boys' in the comedy world to dramatic projects like Peacock's 'Long Bright River' and 'Dope Thief' starring Brian Tyree Henry. It stands out from the popularity of other cities on TV (especially New York or Los Angeles) by embodying 'an energy and a specific vibe.' 'So often when you're creating shows or taking pitches out, you're like, 'Where should we set this?,'' Halpern said. 'Sometimes it doesn't really matter. You can set it anywhere — but you're making a real choice when you set something in Philly.' When 'Deli Boys' creator Abdullah Saeed first wrote the sample script that would become his Hulu series, it was set in New York. Despite the notes of 'Succession' in 'Deli Boys,' he wanted it to be fun, but remembered New York as 'stressful and anxiety-inducing.' 'I want to love it,' he said of 'Deli Boys.' 'So I wanted it to be set in Philadelphia.' In Philly, the Dar brothers (Saagar Shaikh and Asif Ali) made sense as 'low-rent moguls' in an environment less cutthroat (and less policed) than New York. 'I do think of Philadelphia, especially south Philadelphia, as a somewhat lawless place, where as a young college student I would get wild with my friends and it seemed there was no consequences,' Saeed said. 'College kids are the least of the Philly Police Department's problems, right? It felt like a place to be very free.' While 'Deli Boys' takes a humorous and 'explosive' approach to local crime, 'Long Bright River' stays true to the serious takeaways of Liz Moore's eponymous novel. The limited series is based on her experiences growing up and volunteering in the Kensington area, which became a 'North Star' for production, according to showrunner Nikki Toscano. 'Because of Liz's close ties and presence in that community, I think that there was an openness to help us portray it accurately, as well as an investment in educating the cast and crew on what it felt like to live there,' she told IndieWire. 'When you're carefully coordinating with the people that work there and live there, with your production design departments, with your music departments, with casting and everything, it enriches what it is you're trying to accomplish.' 'Long Bright River' filmed in New York, but brought in a number of Kensington locals to educate those working on the show about life in the neighborhood and especially dealing with substance abuse, a central theme of the show. Many of the smaller speaking and background roles were played by Philadelphia actors, and Philly graffiti artists came out to tag the sets and leave their mark on the visuals. Toscano said that the city has been underrepresented, which is part of the allure drawing storytellers there. 'I do think that there is a spirit to the community in Philadelphia that people are trying to represent and use as a metaphor for their series, and I think that we are no exception to that,' she said. During a Zoom meeting to write out the 'Abbott' and 'Always Sunny' crossover, Brunson and Rob McElhaney got very excited about 'some in-the-weeds Philly thing,' Halpern recalled. 'For like two minutes they were in a fugue state where they were just talking about Philly shit that was so deep in the weeds that even some of the Philly people were like, 'We don't really know what you're talking about,'' he said. 'When you meet somebody who has that same kind of love for your town, it feels connective.' Saeed found that kinship with 'Deli Boys' showrunner Michelle Nader, who was born and raised in South Philly and once appeared in a Geno's Steaks commercial. Though the show filmed in Chicago, Saeed doesn't feel that it compromised the city's spirit at all. 'In an ideal world, we would have our exact same crew that we had in Chicago, and shoot in Philly,' he said. 'But that doesn't make any sense, so… the actors are all playing characters Chicago's playing Philly.' From the college culture to the diehard sports fans, Halpern said that Philly pride is infectious — and once you're in, you stay in. 'If there's a group of friends and one friend everybody shits on, but then somebody outside of that group tries to shit on them, they'll be like, 'Hey, nobody talks shit about our friend except for us,'' he said. 'Abbott' films on-location roughly once a season, this time for the Season 4 finale episode. Co-showrunner Patrick Schumaker recalled the surreal experience of that journey, 'he looks on people's faces as they entered the plane as other passengers on the plane as they started to do the math.' 'They'd notice one cast member, then ping pong to another, then another, then another, and the looks of like joyful recognition and wonder about what they're all doing on this plane was really cool,' he said. 'It was really indicative of just how meaningful the show is to Philadelphians.' One day on set, the mayor showed up; another day it was representatives from the Philadelphia Eagles, including offensive tackle Jordan Mailata and the actual Lombardi trophy. The show's casting department receives constant requests for guest spots, but Philly gets the priority (and even then it can be tricky to organically write into the story, like Bradley Cooper as himself). Schumaker said Philadelphia represents a perfect microcosm of the country, on its best days and its worst. And when Hollywood gets too high on its bullshit, Philly is the perfect chaser. 'You can act like an asshole in LA you can act like an asshole in New York — and you might even be champion for it in both those places,' Schumaker said. 'But you can't be a bullshit phony in Philly and get away with it. I really do feel like that's the best of America: Philly is not going to buy your bullshit.'

What ‘The Handmaid's Tale' star Elisabeth Moss ‘stressed about' for a year and a half while filming the final season
Fresh off the series finale, The Handmaid's Tale cast and creatives gathered Wednesday at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles to reflect on the Emmy-winning show's full-circle moments — and to reveal a surprise guest. Calling the final scenes of the six-season series 'a very meta experience to film,' star, director, and executive producer Elisabeth Moss described the moment her character, June Osborne, walks through the ruins of the Waterfords' home and reflects on her past as a handmaid, known as Offred, in the Boston household. More from GoldDerby The nontraditional methods 'Deli Boys' casting director used to find an 'authentic' ensemble Guest acting Emmy odds: See how Kaitlyn Dever, Jeffrey Wright, Martin Scorsese, Bryan Cranston, and other hopefuls stack up TV directors roundtable: 'American Primeval,' 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,' 'Paradise' 'It was a really beautiful experience, because we had a closed set just to keep it really nice and calm,' said Moss, who directed four episodes this season, including the finale, during the FYC event. 'Every single member of this crew took it upon themselves that this was going to be the best scene they had ever done, and everything had to be perfect.' Based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale imagines an alternate America overtaken by Gilead, a theocratic totalitarian regime where women are forced into reproductive servitude. The dystopian series premiered on Hulu in 2017, as a new political administration took power in the United States — coincidentally led by the same official who entered office as Season 6 debuted earlier this year. 'When I read [creator] Bruce Miller's words, I felt that it was such a powerful message of rebellion, of fighting — a very feminist story,' said executive producer Warren Littlefield during the panel. 'This was developed in the Obama years. We could see the far right on the horizon throughout the world. But we loved the message, echoed so much in this final season: Don't give up the fight.' In the finale, Boston is liberated from Gilead's control by American forces. June, now a free woman, walks the city and reconnects with a familiar face — Emily Malek, the first resistance fighter she encountered in the series, played by Alexis Bledel. Bledel joined the panel onstage as a surprise guest and reflected on what it meant to reunite the two characters. 'The fact that the finale brings us full circle and has June and Emily walking together in freedom felt so meaningful and seemed to inform so much about each of their journeys, as well as the way they were intertwined from the beginning,' Bledel said. 'Being back on set in the context of freedom felt very different. I almost expected to have the bonnet on again.' Moss admitted she had heard early on that Emily's character might return for the finale — but making it happen was the challenge. 'Our first official day one was with Alexis. And she's why June became who she is,' Moss said. 'Once I heard that, I was just basically stressed about it for the next year and a half — whether or not we were actually going to be able to get her to come back and then keep it a secret for so long.' The two-part panel also featured co-showrunners Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang, as well as cast members Yvonne Strahovski, Ann Dowd, O-T Fagbenle, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel, Sam Jaeger, Ever Carradine, and Josh Charles, who shared pivotal turning points for their characters. Strahovski said getting Serena to a point of apology by the series' end had everything to do with June. 'I think so much of her journey has to do with June's belief in Serena — that she can ultimately change — and that never wavered,' Strahovski said. 'That's what allows her to evolve. If she didn't have someone in her life forcing her to see what she has done, I don't think she would have gotten there.' While The Handmaid's Tale is concluding, the story will continue in The Testaments, a sequel that will center on Dowd's character, Aunt Lydia. Littlefield gave a preview of the upcoming Hulu series, which Moss is also executive producing. It's based on Atwood's 2019 novel of the same name. 'Four years after the end of Handmaid's Tale, and we're in a world that is Virginia, Maryland,' Littlefield said. 'We're away from the Boston area, and this is from the point of view of the young women coming of age in Lydia's school.' He continued, 'These young women have never known a world other than Gilead, and that world is bright and beautiful and seductive — and yet it's still Gilead. And so that's the realization. Lydia has started the school to try and reform from within, rather than blow up Gilead.' Moss herself has grown significantly since the show's first season, a transformation she credits to Miller and Littlefield. 'They were the original executive producers that I worked with the most, and they recognized that the female voice was really necessary in that position to the show, and they gave me a seat at the table when they honestly didn't have to,' Moss said. 'I'll always be forever grateful to the both of them for that.'
