Westchester County continues to serve as a premier filming destination, garnering 32 Emmy nominations for film and television productions filmed in the county during the past year.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer stated: "Westchester County's film industry is a true powerhouse that showcases the beauty of our region. The industry's economic impact is undeniable, generating over $2 billion in economic activity in 2022-2023. These Emmy nominations are a testament to the world-class productions that choose Westchester County as their backdrop."

Leading this year's nominations is the Amazon Prime drama series, "Fallout," which filmed at the Verplanck quarry in Cortlandt and received 16 nominations across acting, production, and writing categories. The returning miniseries "Feud: Capote & The Swans" (FX) secured 10 nominations for casting, costumes, directing, and acting. This production spent several days filming at the C.V. Rich Mansion in White Plains. HBO's "The Gilded Age" also garnered six nominations, including one for best drama series; it was filmed at several locations across the county including Lyndhurst, Manhattanville College, and the Jacob Purdy House in White Plains.

Westchester County Tourism & Film Director Natasha Caputo remarked: "These nominations celebrate the unique appeal Westchester County offers to filmmakers. Seeing our locations come alive on screen in such captivating productions fills us with immense pride. Congratulations to all the nominees – we are rooting for you."

Westchester County Tourism & Film plays a pivotal role in fostering the film industry's growth by offering services such as location scouting, technical visits, and permit streamlining.
