SOME Glasgow roads are set to close for the filming of a new drama set in New York City.
It was previously reported that production crews had taken over parts of the city in recent years to film scenes for the new Apple drama Debutante, set in 19th-century New York.
The costume drama follows a group of "fun-loving" American girls who make their way into London's prestigious and swanky society resulting in an Anglo-American culture clash between traditional and modern values.
Glasgow City Council confirmed filming for the anticipated period drama is set to take place next week, with several roads in the city's Govan restricted.
The following restrictions are in place:
Prohibition of waiting, loading and unloading - from 6am on June 30, 2024 until 23:59 on July 1, 2024
- Stag Street for its full length
- Clydebrae Street for its full length
- Govan Road, bus lane only, between Napier Street and Stag Street
- Prohibition of vehicle movement
From 6am on June 30, 2024 until 23:59 July 1, 2024
- Stag Street for its full length
- Clydebrae Street for its full length
- Govan Road, bus lane only, between Napier Street and Stag Street (Govan Rd remains open)
It's not the first time the city has been used as a "stunt double" for the the Big Apple, with St Vincent Street being transformed into New York in 2022 for the filming of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
American flags were draped over windows, vintage street signs adorned modern shopfronts, and New York yellow cabs were parked in the street instead of our usual black Hackneys.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
