Film shoots on our block: Raising Kanan currently on 28th St. b/t 10th & 11th Ave., and Law & Order SVU previously on 27th St. b/t 10th & 11th Ave.

A cool thing about NYC has always been that you might just stumble across a movie or TV set while out looking for a “Dog of the Day” to post on your website.

That happened to me about two weeks ago, when I saw what seemed like 50 police cars on 27th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues, along with a couple people with clipboards nonchalantly mulling around making clear that this was all just a TV set. I’m now basically positive that the TV set was Law & Order SVU (Tuesday, Feb. 23 Filming Locations - On Location Vacations).

Currently being filmed on 28th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues is a TV show called “Power Book III: Raising Kanan.” I remember seeing a flyer for it a few days ago that I forgot to take a picture of but which looked like the image I found on the internet and posted here.

The show is a prequel to the “Power” franchise. It is set in the 1990s and essentially looks at the early years of 50 Cent’s character in Power, “Kanan Stark.” Here’s a teaser for it: Official Tease | Power Book III: Raising Kanan | STARZ - YouTube.
