Miniseries Filmed in State to Debut Next Month

A cable TV miniseries predominantly filmed in West Virginia is set to debut next month.

“The American West” is scheduled to premiere at 10 p.m. June 11 on AMC.

The West Virginia Film Office says in a news release that the eight-part series was filmed in Berkeley and Jefferson counties, along with Prickett’s Fort State Park in Marion County.

The series focuses on the years 1865 to 1890. It looks at the transformation of America’s frontier lands following the Civil War, and notables such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp.

The series was produced by Sundance Productions and Stephen David Entertainment.

Steven David has filmed other miniseries in the Eastern Panhandle, including “American Genius,” ”The Men Who Built America” and “The World Wars.”

'The Making of the Mob' Filmed in Eastern Panhandle Premieres on AMC

A new 8-part miniseries filmed mostly in West Virginia comes to TVs across the country Monday. It’s from producer Stephen David, who won two Emmys for The Men Who Built America.

His new show is called “The Making of the Mob: New York.”

David’s new miniseries details a half-century of organized crime history and notorious gangsters in New York City. Like many of David’s productions, this one was also predominantly filmed in the Eastern Panhandle’s Berkeley and Jefferson Counties. David calls the area a gold mine of locations with unmatched hospitality.

Pam Haynes, the Director of the West Virginia Film Office, says bringing a production of this caliber to the state is a huge boost.

“It causes money to be driven into the local economy through lodging and catering, construction purchases, you know, heavy equipment rentals, dry cleaning,” Haynes said.

David has filmed four miniseries mostly in the Eastern Panhandle since 2012, including The Men Who Built America, The World Wars, and American Genius.

AMC will begin airing The Making of the Mob: New York Monday, June 15 at 10 p.m.
