Glasgow roads to close for filming of drama set in New York City

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.
