“Made in Jersey” Filming on Essex Tomorrow

CBS drama Made in Jersey chooses the Lower East Side as backdrop for scenes in its inaugural season. Production for the freshman series will take up positions tomorrow along Essex Street between Grand and Canal. And also cross-town on Lafayette Street…

Made in Jersey carries a rather banal storyline - young working-class Jersey girl uses her street smarts to compete with her pedigreed colleagues at a prestigious New York law firm. In doing so, she must defend her clients while “surviving skepticism and her Italian family’s constant interruptions.” It stars Janet Montgomery in the lead role of Martina Garretti and Kyle MacLachlan as firm founder Donovan Stark. The show premieres September 28 at 9 pm.
