2. Netflix series with 'Breaking Bad' star Giancarlo Esposito films in Huntington. Netflix's upcoming show "Jigshaw" continues to film on Long Island, with a pawn shop in Huntington being featured. A “Jigsaw” production crew spent an entire day last week recording material at the Gold Coast Jewelry & Pawn shop in Huntington, according to Shmit Yuabov, who owns together with Anthony Cutrone. Yuabov added that production crews parked trucks in the Dix Hills Diner parking lot the previous evening. It was a perfect setup for the show's plot which is centered around a $70M jewelry heist.
