Prepping for 'Black Gumball' (or 'Russian Doll' — shhhh!) on 3rd Street and Avenue B

Crews for "Black Gumball" are prepping some storefronts on Third Street and Avenue B ahead of tomorrow's shoot along here.

As Stacie Joy's photos show, Jane's Exchange is now Old Ukraine Grocer ...
Expect a laundromat here too...
... and Ben's Deli on B is getting some enhancements...
Ben's at 32 Avenue B served as a pivotal location for the time-bending Netflix series "Russian Doll" and Natasha Lyonne's character. Much of that award-winning series from 2019 was filmed in the East Village.

Word is "Black Gumball" is code/the working title for season 2 of "Russian Doll." 


Updated 2 p.m. 

Crews are at 7B/Vazac's/Horseshoe Bar too... a scene of several interesting moments in Season 1... photo by Vinny & O...
See this post for more details on the shoot.

    That's not a show that I thought would get a season 2 since the end of season 1 seemed like a series finale, but I'm so excited for it! It's great that local businesses will have a boost from the filming too. Good news all around!
