The producers of the NBC drama Revolution recently informed its Wilmington, NC crew that they will not return for season 2.
The memo, written by the show’s creator Eric Kripke, explained the show will move production to Austin, Texas. Reportedly, the move is due to “creative reasons.”
“Every week, we gave you the impossible, and yet you always executed beautifully,” the email read. “Unfortunately, we’ll be moving the show to Austin, TX, for Season 2.This is not a decision that was made easily or taken lightly. We agonized over it. And we really regret losing such a terrific crew. Seriously.”
According to Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission, the show was making the move to get the look they need for the post-apocalyptic world in which it is set. “Part of the challenge is you don’t know where a storyline is going to go in the future,” Griffin said. “You have to be sure you have enough locations to choose from. It’s a traveling show … their world is constantly changing every week, literally, because they’re on foot traveling from place to place, so they don’t know ahead of time what’s required or needed. The series appears to be taking the characters out West.”
Stay tuned for updates about when and exactly where Revolution will be filming in Austin later this summer.
