We shot it in New York and not another place to capture New York, and we wanted it to feel very much like a New York show. Being grounded in New York, the way New York is now… the old Hell’s Kitchen is no longer now. It’s regentrified and revitalized itself, so we wanted to capture that. That feeling like, ‘There are a few spots that retain the same old Hell’s Kitchen feel, but New York has changed, and it’s a different place”… We shot on the streets all the time, but we also had to build many sets.

When we first started prep in Atlanta, Dan Aykroyd was there with Jason and they were doing a pickup shot on the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. So I’m in my office and all of a sudden Jason comes in with Dan in front of this big model. We asked him questions about how accurate was this set we built. Jason posted it on his Instagram. It was wild to get that sort of validation in a way. It was really fun getting his feedback.
