THE streets of Glasgow are set to double for 1890s New York over the next 10 days as filming for period drama Debutante arrives in the city.
The costume drama, the latest in a long line of major productions to be filmed in Glasgow, will see a number of road closures over the course of the shoot.
Filming for Debutante took place in Edinburgh yesterday with the crew and cast members assembled in the New Town, where horses and carriages were spotted, and scenes have previously been shot at Carolside House in the Borders.
The show is expected to stream on Apple TV.
The show is being produced by The Forge Entertainment, a UK-based drama production company set up by George Faber, who has worked on major TV programmes including Channel 4 hits Skins and Shameless.
The Forge has produced shows such as Roadkill starring Hugh Laurie on the BBC, National Treasure with Robbie Coltrane and Julie Walters which aired on Channel 4 and Ackley Bridge, also for Channel 4, a comedy-drama set in a Yorkshire school.
A casting firm advertised for extras from around Edinburgh and Glasgow for a “high end TV drama” which would be “streamed worldwide on one of the major streaming services”.
Road closures will apply to all vehicles except emergency services and those given permission by the council’s filming and events section.
