HOPEWELL, Va. –- A dramatic scene in downtown Hopewell where production on the Walking Dead spin-off series Monument is underway. A production team dressed and decorated Hopewell Street between East Poythress and East Cawson to look like the aftermath of a plane crash.
Monument is filming in downtown Hopewell this month and along with that comes street closures, parking restrictions, and detours. Hopewell Street, between East Poythress and East Cawson, is closed through August 15 at 6 p.m.
Monument tells the story of two young women and will “focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the franchise’s apocalyptic realm,” the network said in a release. The new series will debut on AMC in 2020.
