‘Walking Dead’ sequel films all over New Jersey
New Jersey’s involvement in “The Walking Dead” franchise remains robust with the debut of the limited series, “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.”
The spinoff, teased during the halftime of Super Bowl LVIII, received support from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s (NJEDA) Film and Digital Media Tax Credit program.
AMC, the production company, disclosed expenditures exceeding $68 million in the state for labor, goods, and services during the filming of “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.” Additionally, 469 New Jersey residents were hired as cast and crew members.
“Under Governor Murphy’s leadership, New Jersey continues to serve as a competitive location for filming due to our wide array of landscapes, highly skilled workforce, and attractive tax incentive programs,” said NJEDA Chief Executive Officer Tim Sullivan in a press release. “Popular productions, like The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, are helping support New Jersey’s growing film and digital media sector, as well as our economy, by creating good-paying jobs and supporting small businesses across the state.”
Numerous locations in North and Central Jersey are featured in “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.” Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford serves as a recurring set, while Dobco property in Wayne transforms into the Cascade Mountains. Other filming sites include West Milford, doubling as Yellowstone National Park and Montana’s Norris Geyser Basin, along with Alpine Scout Camp, Bayonne Marine Terminal, Branch Brook Park in Newark, Hamilton Park in Jersey City, Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, Ringwood State Park, and River Barge Park and Marina in Carlstadt. Additional filming occurred in Bayonne, East Newark, Lyndhurst, Passaic, Rahway, and Springfield.
“The Walking Dead sequels utilized a wide variety of locations as backgrounds in this sprawling saga,” remarked New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission Chairman Michael Uslan. “New Jersey’s plethora of sites, many of which have never been filmed, provided vivid backdrops for the staging of the many complex action sequences the storylines required.”

PHILADELPHIA – Philip McPherson II, a 37-year-old from Riverside, New Jersey, was sentenced Thursday, June 11, to 78 months in prison for his role in a 2022 plane crash in Lehigh County that killed a student pilot, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Sentencing and charges for fatal Lehigh Valley crash
What we know:
United States District Judge John M. Gallagher sentenced McPherson to 78 months in prison, three years of supervised release, a $5,000 fine, a $4,300 special assessment, and $19,530 in restitution. Judge Gallagher also barred McPherson from working in the aviation industry.
McPherson pleaded guilty in October to involuntary manslaughter, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, obstruction of an administrative proceeding, and 40 counts of serving as an airman without a certificate.
The backstory:
Court filings show that on September 28, 2022, McPherson took off from Queen City Airport in Allentown as the pilot-in-command with student pilot K.K. and crashed shortly after, resulting in K.K.’s death.
Prosecutors said McPherson acted with gross negligence, knowing he was not competent to fly as pilot-in-command. He had two prior crashes, nearly a third, and failed a reexamination for his pilot’s certificate in September 2021.
McPherson voluntarily surrendered his pilot’s certificate in October 2021 and let his Temporary Airman Certificate expire in November 2021, acknowledging his inability to meet FAA standards.
He admitted to flying with passengers without a valid FAA pilot’s certificate between October 12, 2021, and September 20, 2022.
Investigators from the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General, FAA, and Salisbury Township Police Department worked on the case, which was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert Schopf and Special Assistant United States Attorney Marie Miller.
What we don’t know:
Authorities have not released further details about the circumstances leading up to the crash.
