‘The Studio’ films Season 2 episode in New York, with a scene set at Gallagher’s Steakhouse

Filming for Season 2 of the Emmy-winning series ‘The Studio’ is taking place in New York City, according to Page Six, which reported that the show is shooting parts of a new episode in Manhattan. The report says one scene is set at Gallagher’s Steakhouse on West 52nd Street, a detail that could draw attention from diners and passersby during production hours.

Page Six said it had learned that the episode is part of the show’s second season, following what the outlet described as last year’s major Emmy win. The outlet framed the New York shoot as an on-location production, indicating that at least portions of the installment will be captured where the public can access the venue.

The Page Six report also states that the episode includes a reference to the death of Catherine O’Hara. The outlet did not, in its description, provide further context on how the death is portrayed, what characters are involved, or whether the reference is part of a flashback, a memorial moment, or other narrative device.

Gallagher’s Steakhouse, at 52nd Street, is identified by Page Six as the setting for the scene, pinpointing a specific block area in Manhattan. The reporting does not describe whether the restaurant is closed to customers during filming, whether production staff coordinated with management for limited access, or what logistical steps are being taken to manage traffic, crowd control, or safety around the set.

As ‘The Studio’ continues filming for its next season, the production’s on-location choices highlight a common practical reality in modern television, where studio sets and real-world venues can both be used to create recognizable environments. Locations chosen for scenes can also affect local routines for nearby residents and visitors, especially where filming schedules require temporary restrictions.

Details on when the episode will air, how extensively the restaurant sequence will be used, and the exact nature of the Catherine O’Hara-related reference were not included in the Page Six report. Additional confirmations from the show’s representatives, the network, or official production notices would be expected to clarify the episode’s broadcast timing and the creative treatment of the reference.
