NBC Filming ‘The Enemy Within’ At Branch Brook Park: Officials

ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — A film crew from NBC will be shooting footage for the network’s psychological thriller show, “The Enemy Within,” at Branch Brook Park in Essex County on Wednesday, Jan. 30, officials said.

On Monday, Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo Jr. announced that a television show will be filming in the county-run park, which is located in Newark and Belleville.

The filming will close the park to the public and motor vehicle traffic from the Clifton Avenue to Bloomfield Avenue entrances on Jan. 30 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be detours and traffic delays; commuters should plan an alternate route, DiVincenzo Jr. stated.

On Tuesday, a county spokesperson told Patch that the filming is for NBC’s “The Enemy Within.”

Wednesday’s filming will take place just a few months after shooting completed for the upcoming "Joker" movie in Newark. During several days of shooting, a large swath of the city was transformed into 1980s-era Gotham City.
