New A&E Cop Show To Feature Pittsburgh Prominently

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh's rise as a backdrop for shows on the silver screen has been well documented.

Tonight, the cityscape is featured on A&E's new show, "Those Who Kill."

Chloe Sevigny stars in the new drama. Not only does she play a Pittsburgh cop, but the entire show was shot here in the Steel City.

"I think it always helps to shoot on location. Then, you are there with the rest of your cast and you are all there together and all of our crew was from Pittsburgh. They were mostly all locals, and they helped setting the vibe and letting us know where we were and it just informed the feel of the entire show," Sevigny said.

While shooting ten episodes, she lived in Bloomfield and fell in love with Tessaro's.

"I just like the neighborhood feel of it. The vibe -- just being able to walk around to different places and everyone was so friendly and there's lots of great restaurants. There's also a little bit of a trouble going on. It just felt really rich and neighborhood," Sevigny said.

There are familiar sights from around Pittsburgh on the show. You can't miss it.

"I think just being able to immerse yourself in the town and feed off the energy of the town. I think it helped with camaraderie with the other police officers I was working with in the show," Sevigny said.

"Those Who Kill" premieres tonight on A&E at 10 p.m.
