‘Glee’ is returning to NYC

My email was flooded today by Glee fans in NYC looking for information about where the hit Fox series is filming this week.

The excitement is a result of several tweets from Glee director Adam Shankman who is currently in New York working on two projects, a Macy’s campaign and Glee’s Christmas episode!

Here are his latest NYC-related tweets:

“Lost in 48 strt hours of @GLEEonFOX & @macys campaign. Need some @cnn 2 know what’s going on in the world. @andersoncooper, what’s happening”

“Checklist: auditions for @macys #weekofwonderful campaign, DONE! On to location scout 4 @GLEEonFOX ! Mahahahaha! #Xmas”

“Wrappin here 2nite on LA part of @GLEEonFOX & want 2 say thank u w/all my heart 2 the best cast & crew in the Gleeniverse. C ya in NYC!”

“Next 3 weeks:wrap Glee, shoot Macys campaign, shoot NY Glee, direct benefit 4 @TrevorProject , host 24 4 thxgiving, & turn 48. #busyweeks!”

“@blainerumples: @adammshankman is that all you’re shooting in NYC Adam?” OH. THAT…and some #GLEE !!”

Right now, we don’t know where or when thy are filming (it sounds like they don’t either if they are just starting to scout locations) but obviously we’ll have an eye out for updates!

If you have any scoop about Glee in NYC, let us know in a comment below! Hopefully, as we’ve done in the past, we can use the comments here to gather details about the shoot. If you’d rather keep it anonymous, email me at olv@onlocationvacations.com!

UPDATE: Today, Sun, Nov. 18, they have been spotted filming at Bryant Park. Signs for “French Gorilla” (their code name for the shoot) have been spotted on Lafayette and Astor Place in NYC for today, too.

  1. adam shankman tweeted this at about 6:30 on november 15th:
    Adam Shankman ‏@adammshankman
    Nothing says @GLEEonFOX like central park, and the cloisters. So beautiful…

    so
    ya

    • Thanks Anna…think that might just be for scouting?

      Right off the bat I’m going to say I don’t really trust any glee tips I get but will pass them on anyway just in case…
      got an email they are filming next weekend (after Thanksgiving) at “iconic” places like the “Brooklyn Bridge” but, someone else said a crew member tweeted saying they were filming this weekend (11/17 & 18)…that’s the latest I’ve gotten in email..

  4. We just got called from the casting agency for a shoot called “Awsome Town” and asked us to be avaliable on November 24,25.26 for some “big dance scenes”. Sounds like “Glee” to me.

  8. They deleted the tweet but: “‏@accelerometric They’re filming Glee at my school on Sunday!!!”
    Also: “@lovesme_not91 apparently, glee is filming at a school in nyc on sunday? wut”

    It seems it might be Cooper Union school.

  9. thanks a few others have contacted me with the Copper Union news too…if anyone can confirm/checks it out let us know…can anyone check for No Parking Signs around the school?

  11. FYI:

    Chris Colfer, star of “Glee”, signing copies of Struck By Lightning:
    11/20/12 7:00 PM at Bookends – East Ridgewood Avenue. Ridgewood, NJ.
    11/24/12 6:00 PM at Barnes & Noble – Grove Drive. Los Angeles, CA.

  13. The casting agent told us that next week will be the “principal photography shoot” though there are second unit crews filming the past few days filming helecopter shots and “background plate shots” of which I was part of yesterday at Lincoln Center (no worries though there truly were no principal actors there. I also heard that they were looking for a “stunt double for Kate Hudson” for nex weeks scenes. Traditionally they like to sneak in when its slow (they dont even tell the SAG reps when they are in) so Thanksgiving Day weekend seems perfect.

    • Hey^^quick question…what agency are you working with? I’m a dancer with Ailey (bfa) but don’t know how to get involved with filming and projects like glee..any info is greatly appreciated!

  16. Glee will in fact begin shooting tomorrow in NYC and at various locations around the city throughout next week into next weekend. It will be a High-Security Closed Set, this is most likely due to all the leaks from the shoot in NYC this past summer and the major storylines that will take place in the Christmas episode. A production crew member tweeted they will also be shooting within the Thanksgiving Day parade.

    If anyone does venture out to try and set crash or catch a glimpse of your favorite Gleek, please be careful, and don’t get your hopes up too high. They will most likely have baracades and extra security to keep spectators/fans out and spoilers in. Good luck to everyone heading out!

  17. The actors that are apparently in New York (and they’re all there now) are Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Darren Criss, and Dean Geyer.

      • Chris Colfer got papped at LAX yesterday and he’s doing a book signing on Tuesday (also, Adam Shankman also said he was filming scenes with him and Darren) so while he hasn’t tweeted it’s all but certain he’s in NY now. Darren Criss just did a photoshoot in NY today for some magazine cover. Dean Geyer tweeted a little while ago that he’s in NY.

  19. Are the rumors about Cooper Union school true? If so, what day and time of day? I’ll be in the area until nighttime Sunday, so I can confirm whatever I see. Does anyone know anything about tomorrow (Sunday)?

  20. I believe everyones confusing the GLEE inspired Macys ccommercal which Shankman is directing inside JC Studios, with the actual “Glee” shoot which will be next weeend.

  30. Does anyone know what times today the cast will be filming at Cooper Union tonite n which locations specifically in the union as well? Much appreciated:)

  34. plz let me know will they be filming all week in to next weekend? and who all will be there? also anybody met them plz give me deets about them thx

  35. Hey! I’m a student at The Cooper Union, They filmed there all today. It was Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, and Dean Geyer. They were all dressed in fancy attire. No singing, just a couple scenes. Seems as though they were using the building as NYADA.

  36. Hey, any news today? I can’t find anything new this morning…trying to confirm Bryant Park rumors…got an email from someone saying they are doing a skating rink scene but no confirmation on location….

  37. Did in fact see “French Gorilla” permit signs in front of the trailers parked by CITI Pond (the ice rink) at Bryant Park. Overheard that the rink is closing from 5p-10p for a “private event”.

  42. Watched them film at the rink in Bryant Park tonigh. Saw Darren and Chris. Darren chatted with us. Also got to meet Zack and take a picture with him. He is my favorite judge on the Glee Project and really a great guy. Also saw scenes filmed with Curts dad.
