Yep, it was reported by outlets and mentioned on crew and cast’s CVs. And more important, the locations were also included on the official press release.
It’s Netflix so I guess they had the money but I suspect that like DS, they probably will film only the most obvious NY scenes there and maybe mostly in external locations.

This is from 2 days ago. I wonder if all the production is finally heading to the USA, http://instagr.am/p/Cq7S0tHOtyJ Apparently most of the puppeteers hired for the series already left Budapest a pair of weeks ago and, of course, the cinematographer already visited NY to make some testing like a month ago! EDITED He was in Austria the day before he posted this. I saw the news about the puppeteers on the account of one of them who posts a lot. He said the others would returned home or finished their job in Budapest but that he would stay. He then posted photos of him visiting Germany. Maybe they had their Easter vacation before moving to the USA?

I just saw that one actress posted on Instagram that she just arrived in Budapest so they are still shooting there. It seems that it was just David Denman finishing his scenes there.

Seeing those dresses, I wonder when exactly the series is set. They look like maybe mid or late 1980s. We know that it’s about the AIDS crisis which began in 1981 but it certainly occupied the whole decade and the early 1990s. There are clearly a few gay characters in the series but considering that at least one summary (I’m speculating so very probably it’s not a spoiler!) says that Vincent is, at some point, a drug addict, I also wonder if he is directly affected by it. I think the link between drug users and AIDS was also established very early on, tho. It was the issue of blood donation that come later in the decade, right? When it was discovered it wasn’t just gays and drug addicts Jim Henson which seems to have influenced at least a little the Vincent character become famous since the 1970s but he still had a huge influence during the 1980s. I certainly, remember to have watched his shows and I’m in another country! He was massive in the 1980s. It’s difficult to choose a year based only on him! Lol Then there is the “mole people”. Another 1980s phenomenon in New York but I think it was more visible in the late years of the decade and early 1990s. But surely there are better informed people than me about the theme! Maybe I’m wrong but in general, I tend to think that maybe the series is set between 1985-1988. Just a guess, of course! Kinda random years!

An article in Portuguese about Brazilian actor Jose Pimentao casting in the series, www.seriesdatv.pt/noticias/novidadeselenco/2023/05/eric-jose-pimentao-no-elenco-da-minisserie-da-netflix/There is not info about the character he is playing. He played the “fake” priest in Netflix’s 1899. He was actually the gay lover of the impulsive Spanish guy. Although, those identities were also fake… they were actually video game players or something! I watched it meanwhile I was suffering an undiagnosed appendicitis case so maybe I don’t remember it well! Lol. I really enjoyed Dark, tho. The other series by the same people!
