The TV Adaptation of The Peripheral Is Shooting

 I've made no secret here about how much I enjoyed William Gibson's novel, The Peripheral, which I consider to be the best science fiction novel of the last decade. So I was glad to see this article about the television adaptation being produced by Amazon Prime Video. It is currently shooting in London, where about half of the story is set, and will being filming in Marshall, NC in the fall. 

MARSHALL - The county seat will serve as a filming location for an upcoming Amazon Prime Video show, the show's location manager announced during May 17's Marshall Town Board of Aldermen monthly meeting. 

The show, "The Peripheral," is based on William Gibson's 2015  futuristic science fiction novel of the same name.

Bass Hampton, the location manager for the project, debriefed members of the board on the show's plans. Hampton has also served as location manager for films such as "Get Out" and "The Conjuring," according to his IMDB page. 

Hampton said he started scouting locations for the show about a year ago.

According to Hampton, the show is currently filming in London. The crew has already built the ReClaim Madison storefront, just one of the few locations to be used in the production, on its stage.
