Richmond City Hall transforms into U.S. police station for TV
Crews behind an American TV series transformed Richmond City Hall into a San Francisco police station last Thursday.
Filming for Fairly Legal—an hour-long drama series in its second season on the USA Network—began early Friday and continued into the late evening, said city spokesperson Kim Decker.
The series follows a woman who, frustrated with the legal system, quits her job as a lawyer to work as a mediator at the law firm started by her late father.
On Friday, dozens of actors dressed as San Francisco cops roamed the galleria, which was fit with American flags. Filming also took place in city hall’s parking lot.
The show stars Sarah Shahi, Michael Trucco, Virginia Williams and Baron Vaughn.
Decker said producers also used Richmond to shoot scenes in November: on Steveston Harbour Authority land and at a private residence.
Season 2 of Fairly Legal premieres March 16.
