CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A new HBO series is being filmed at a mall in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Post and Courier reported Saturday that “The Righteous Gemstones” is using the former Sears at Citadel Mall for production. The comedy show about a dysfunctional family of televangelists stars Danny McBride, John Goodman, Edi Patterson and Adam DeVine.
A release date hasn’t been announced, and HBO spokesman Diego Aldana says it won’t be in the first half of the year.
A group of investors led by Charleston real estate investor Richard Davis bought the 14-acre (6-hectare) former Sears site and its parking lot in May for $7.55 million. The group is leasing the 132,000-square-foot (12,300-square-meter) former department store space to HBO.
The Sears operated for 37 years before closing in 2018.
