"Dispatches from Elsewhere" has been filming in Philadelphia for the past two weeks. The show, about a group of ordinary people who stumble onto a puzzle hiding just behind the veil of everyday life, is being directed by Jason Segel of "How I Met Your Mother" fame. Filming is expected to last until November.
On Friday, July 26, the cast and crew shot scenes in Rittenhouse Square until 4 a.m. Saturday morning. The scenes consisted of the main characters walking through the middle of Rittenhouse Square as a hundred extras wander around them holding blue paddles.
