A new crime drama will film scenes in Vancouver this week and through the summer.
NBC's The Hunting Party stars Canadian actress Melissa Roxburgh (Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Supernatural), American actor Nick Wechsler (Roswell, Revenge), and Canadian actor Patrick Sabongui (The Flash).
The drama series will follow a small team of investigators who must track down and catch dangerous killers who escaped from a "top-secret prison that’s not supposed to exist," according to NBC.
In a notification to the public, local production company GEP Hunting Inc. stated it would film on Friday, June 21 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the "The Fortress" at 1745 West 8th Ave.
The Fortress has vacant space up for short-term rentals, including film productions.
Most filming will occur inside the building except for one scene where a car drives out of a garage; the vehicle will not drive onto West 7th Avenue.
