A high-profile series with a big-time budget and Hollywood stars will soon begin filming in multiple locations across Bucks County.
Apple TV+ episodic crime drama series “Sinking Spring” has had crew members scouting for shooting locations in Bristol Borough and Bristol Township, two sources with knowledge told of the production LevittownNow.com. The sources did either not know or detail the specific locations the production was eyeing. However, both were confident the area would be used for the series.
The multi-million-dollar production will bring with it trucks, trailers, electrical equipment, and a hoard of crew.
Filming for series will also close Route 113 in Bedminster and Tinicum townships in Upper Bucks County from Tuesday, Feb. 14 through Saturday, Feb. 18, and Tuesday, Feb. 21 through Thursday, Feb. 23 for shooting, an industry source confirmed. PennDOT did not release the name of the production, but noted an Apple Studios LLC-produced series will be filming there.
“Sinking Spring,” which is going by the working title “Catamount,” is set to film in the Philadelphia region from February through July, sources said.
There have been rumblings that additional locations in Bucks County were being looked at, but nothing was confirmed by sources outside of the Levittown-area location scouting and Upper Bucks County filming location.
LevittownNow.com was unable to reach a spokesperson for production company Scott Free Productions, and an Apple TV+ spokesperson said they had nothing to share at the moment.
The new Ridley Scott-directed streaming series is based on the book “Dope Thief” by Dennis Tafoya.
The series “follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard,” according to the official logline reported on by entertainment industry trade publication Variety.
The eight-episode series is set to star Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Mando, Kate Mulgrew, and Marin Ireland.
