Many of the streets in and around North Central Bronx Hospital and Montefiore were were already blocked off by traffic cones and red tape the previous night, forcing some drivers to find other places to park in an already difficult area to find parking.


None of the actors in the show were spotted during the Bronx Voice’ visit to the area.





The show stars De Niro, who is also the show’s producer and starring in his first television series. 


According to a December 2023 announcement, the 6-episode series was created by Eric Newman, who is also the executive producer who was behind, “The Watcher,” as well as Noah Oppenheim the writer of “The Maze Runner” and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michael Schmidt.



According to the announcement, the show takes place in an age of conspiracy theories and centers around former President George Millen, played by De Niro, who comes out of retirement to lead a commission investigating a “potential world crisis.”



According to published reports the Netflix film crew has been spotted in the last two weeks filming in Nyack, New York, Tuckahoe, New York and at Foley Square and Lincoln Center in Manhattan.


Julie Kuehndorf, a publicist for the show, told the Bronx Voice, “I’m afraid we don’t publicize information about the shoot while it’s in production.” 


This is not the first time DeNiro filmed in the Bronx. In 1993, DeNiro directed “A Bronx Tale” which was filmed in and Arthur Avenue and City Island.
