Summary
- Apple+ show 'Your Friends & Neighbors' films season three locally.
- Area restaurants and businesses temporarily close for filming.
- Westchester's diverse backdrops and studio infrastructure attract productions.
Filming for the third season of the Apple+ show "Your Friends & Neighbors" is underway, bringing Hollywood production to local Westchester communities. This has resulted in temporary closures for beloved establishments, including Sunshine Coffee Roasters in Rye and The Brazen Fox in White Plains, which have previously hosted the show.
The series, starring Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet, and Olivia Munn, is set in the fictional Westmont Village in Westchester. Production professionals like Shane Haden praise the area for its diverse locations, such as Gilded Age mansions and suburban streetscapes, as well as studio infrastructure in Yonkers. Haden highlighted the strong partnerships with municipalities like Harrison and Rye, noting their film-friendly guidelines and support.
Westchester's appeal is further enhanced by its proximity to amenities like restaurants, elegant homes, and an airport. The show's creator, Jonathan Tropper, also has local ties, having lived in New Rochelle and taught in Purchase. This deepens the connection between the series and the region.
