🎬 Filmed in NY · Upstate

23 verified productions across upstate New York · curated by hand · updated Aug 6, 2026

Why this page is different: upstate New York has no public permit feed like NYC's — no dataset to pull, anywhere. So this section is curated, not scraped: every entry below was verified against a public source (film office, local press, or trade), and each one shows its source and the date we checked it. Fewer entries, but every one is real.

Western NY 5

Western NY's 2026 slate was a Buffalo-Niagara story through and through — holiday TV movies, a Warner Bros. horror sequel, and a locally-written legal drama all shot there — until Rochester joined the map in late July, when the series Abilene began filming at the newly state-certified FLX Studios in Henrietta.

Two housekeeping notes on this dataset: (1) Several productions were reported by more than one researcher from different outlets (Sunny, Disclosure Day, Christmas at the Starlight, the Schenectady "Bridgeport" shoot, and Gilded Age Season 4's Capital Region return); duplicates were merged into a single entry each, keeping the most specific, directly-fetched source and folding in any extra confirmed detail (e.g., the Conjuring speculation around "Bridgeport"). (2) Three Central NY entries (Prom Dates, Queens of Christmas, Too Many Christmases, Companion) have older 2023-2024 filming dates that resurface here only because NYS's Empire State Development office issued their tax credits in its Q4 2025 report — the newest such report available — so they're flagged "wrapped" with their true production dates rather than implied as current 2026 activity. The Paramount Dutchess County feature's "Little Falls" title and the Schenectady horror film's "Conjuring" connection are both unconfirmed by their studios and labeled as such. "Triumph of the Will" was first a title drawn from secondary local press; a February 2026 Variety report (syndicated by the Jerusalem Post/Yahoo) has since confirmed the title, naming writer-director Gabriel Nussbaum and star Shira Haas and noting the film shot entirely in New York. No verifiable 2026 production news surfaced for Utica/Mohawk Valley, the North Country, or most of the Finger Lakes outside Tompkins County despite targeted searches — those areas are simply thin on citable 2026 activity right now, not overlooked.
