‘Revolution’ will film in Wilmington area


NBC’s new series “Revolution” will be produced in the Wilmington region beginning this summer. Premiering this fall, the series’ production team will employ 125 people full time, hundreds of extras part time, and spend millions of dollars in the regional economy.

“We are excited to have a television series back in Wilmington that will create hundreds of jobs,” said Aaron Syrett, director of the N.C. Film Office. “The North Carolina film credit continues to create high-quality, well-paying jobs for North Carolinian professionals who have the skills and capabilities to handle the sophisticated level of production that an epic series like ‘Revolution’ demands.” Produced by Warner Bros. Television and created by J.J. Abrams (“Lost”), the show will tell an apocalyptic tale about a world where all forms of energy mysteriously disappear, leaving everyone in total darkness and separation, according to an NBC news release.
