‘Ugly Betty’ Begins Filming In NYC
Production has begun on the new season of the ABC show Ugly Betty in NYC this week as new scenes featuring America Ferrara began filming on the streets of Brooklyn, NY today. As you may recall, it was announced that production of Ugly Betty would be moving from LA to NYC for the new season and it looks like the relocation has already taken place. Here are pics of Amercia lookin’ her Ugly best on set earlier today:
It makes total sense that the show, which is set in NYC, would move production to the Big Apple. Now they can capitalize on the same sort of free publicity that TV shows like Gossip Girl and Lipstick Jungle get to enjoy. You know, it just occurred to me how symbolic the last season finale was … the last shot of the ep was of Betty on an airplane bound for destination unknown (would she be going to Arizona for Henry or to Rome with Geo?) … but I suppose it was also the show’s symbolic way of saying, We’re leaving LA, bitches — see you in NYC! I’m sure the show can only benefit from being set on the real streets of NYC. From the looks of things thus far (ie. Betty’s Glinda the Good Witch meets the Wicked Witch of the East outfit) everything appears to be in order.

When did Betty Suarez turn into Carrie Bradshaw? :P
FYI Trent: The show’s first season was in NY, then they had to move to LA, and now they’re back home in NY again!
