FX's New TV Series To Be Filmed At Local River Buffalo Farm

READINGTON, NJ — A local farm will soon serve as the backdrop to FX's newest mystery mini-series next month.

The Readington Township Committee unanimously voted to allow Minim Productions, Inc.'s special events permit to film at Readington River Buffalo Farm off County Route 523.

The production company will be filming a scene for FX's newest mystery mini-series "Retreat," which follows Darby Hart, a Gen Z amateur sleuth, as she attempts to solve a murder at a secluded retreat, according to IMDb.

The three-day event will begin on April 5 for prep and set up followed by filming on April 6 and a restore and wrap-out day on April 6, said John Papp, assistant location manager for the show.

Both the prep and restore days will have about 20 people on site between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and 80 to 100 people during filming from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.

"All of our work is daylight dependant," said Papp. "When the sun goes down we have to stop filming."

When asked if any famous movie stars will be among the cast causing traffic issues in the area, Papp said no.

"I am very happy to say that none of our actors are incredibly famous," said Papp.

After approving the application, one committeeperson says, "I think it is really cool."
