Now that Breaking Bad is dunzo and Girls won’t be back till who knows when, you’re probably wondering whether you should just sell your couch. DO NOT. After a little break, Louie is back next spring, and here’s proof: signs up on David Schwimmer’s East Sixth Street block and around the corner on First Avenue indicate that Pig Newton is filming in the area tomorrow. Pretty sneaky of Louis CK to use the name of his production company instead of the name of the show (he clearly learned some stealth filming techniques from Woody), but no way was this going to get by us (the name of his production company, after all, is also one of his best bits).
A member of the location department tells us the shoot – the first of the upcoming season – will be an interior, and not necessarily on Curry Row, which will be used for parking. (Who knows, maybe Schwimmer has lent out a wing of his manse.) So, sorry “NYU-looking kid,” you probably won’t be able to flip off the camera this time around.
