Filming locations for other episodes of the Around the World in 80 Days, were in South Africa. Additional CGI embellishment was completed in Paris.
PBS tells us, “The street was partially built already, but we massively altered it and put in fire escapes, new shop fronts, etc.” In next week’s episode, you’ll also see docks and a ship - the dock was filmed in an old partially-used factory in Bucharest and the ship deck built on a sound stage in Castel Studios, Bucharest. The New York City street scenes, which have the fabulous feel of those seen in The Alienist were shot in a studio o outside of Bucharest.

Grand Central Depot had eight incoming tracks and four outgoing, but they would have been on street level.” The credit lines on some of the press images actually specify Grand Central Depot, but eagle eye New Yorkers will spot see that the visual references used in the set are much more similar to Penn Station. If for some reason, they were on the New York Central, they would have come into Grand Central Depot, which did exist in 1872 but as Rivers explains, “Grand Central Depot would not have had the incoming trains sign at all, it was one level back then. Our protagonists would have taken the Pennsy to Exchange Place in Jersey City, New Jersey and taken a ferry across the Hudson River to Manhattan. At this point of time, the original Pennsylvania Station would not have been built for a few decades (it opened in 1910). There’s one catch in all of this: the adventurers leave London on October 5, 1872. In this article, we’ll also share with you the other New York City filming locations for Around the World in 80 Days seen in these episodes. We’ve worked with the PBS press team which has provided image stills from the show especially for Untapped New York to illustrate this story. You can catch a glimpse of the scene in the trailer. New York City will be the main setting for the episode of Around the World in 80 Days for the episode next week as well, so you’ll just get a taste of things this Sunday when the trio - Phileas Fogg (played by David Tennant), his friend’s daughter and journalist Abigail “Fix” Fortescue (played by Leonie Bensch), and Passpartou (Ibrahim Koma) - enter a train station that looks quite a bit like old Penn Station in many ways.
We haven’t covered it until now because in Sunday’s episode, the rag tag team of adventurers that has been trying to circumnavigate the globe end up in New York City! The new revisiting of the classic Jules Verne novel, updated for modern sensibilities, has been on PBS since January. Look no further than Around the World in 80 Days if you’re seeking a period drama with a bit more action and adventure than The Gilded Age.
