Amazon Prime Series Films In Orange County

ORANGE COUNTY, NY — A new series, based on novels by Adam Dunn, was filmed in large part in Orange County, bringing economic benefit to the region. "Big Dogs" is set to premiere on Amazon Prime and Tubi July 1.

The series was shot in many county locations including the city and town of Newburgh.

More than 400 local extras were hired during the course of production. Additionally, about 30 non-local cast members relocated to the area during filming, spending their nights in multiple hotels and several local homes in the Newburgh area.

In total, an estimated $1.2 million was spent on lodging during the course of filming.

According to a spokesperson, the premise for the series is set in a violent, anarchic alternate reality of New York City during a financial collapse and a surging crime wave, when a fashion photographer looking for extra cash finds himself in the cross-hairs between his boss, a front man for an international crime syndicate, and a New York Police Department detective working to crack down on the chaotic drug trade.

Filming of "Big Dogs" began in late 2017, with Umbra Stages, located at 9 Scobie Drive in the City of Newburgh, serving as one of the many Orange County locations.

Orange County Tourism Director Amanda Dana said filming the series was a great opportunity for the region and allowed many of the local film professionals to gain more experience while living in the Hudson Valley.

"Another major economic benefit to the production of 'Big Dogs' in Orange County has been the additional revenue generated by food and lodging during the cast and crews' more than one-year-long stay," she said.
