Westchester Provides Locales Integral To Award-Winning TV, Films

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Westchester County is well-represented this awards season with several shows filmed in the area.

The county contributed to television shows receiving 56 Emmy Award nominations and nine wins during the Jan. 15 ceremony.

The industry bestowed additional acclaim on productions filmed in Westchester with honors at the Golden Globes ceremony Jan. 10, as well as recent honors from the prestigious Critics Choice Association and Screen Actors, Producer and Directors Guilds.

“Succession” on HBO swept awards this year, with six Emmys, including outstanding drama and best writing in drama for show creator Jesse Armstrong; four Golden Globes, including best drama and three Critic’s Choice Awards.

Set in New York City and locations around the world, the series filmed several episodes in film-friendly Westchester County. The shocking episode about — spoiler alert — the death of Logan Roy featured scenes filmed at Westchester County Airport, according to a spokesperson.

In its last season, Amazon Prime’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” filmed scenes at Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle. The comedy earned two Emmy Awards: for period makeup and cinematography.

The Hulu murder mystery “Only Murders in the Building,” which received an Emmy for outstanding production design and a Critic’s Choice award for acting for Meryl Streep, filmed scenes at the Westchester County Records Center.

Alchemy Post Sound, a post-production sound studio in Peekskill, received a Creative Arts Emmy for sound editing work on FX’s “The Bear.”

County Executive George Latimer said the film industry’s impact on Westchester is undeniable.

“A driving force for investment, film production is a $1.1 billion sector in Westchester,” he said. “It showcases our assets, creates jobs, supports local vendors and attracts audiences here and around the world.”
