Governor McAuliffe Announces Major Television Series Will Film in Virginia ~Ridley Scott to Executive Produce Civil War Series for PBS~ RICHMOND - Governor Terry McAuliffe today announced that PBS has selected Virginia as the filming location for a new Civil War television series that is a blend of hospital drama and family saga. The series was created by Lisa Q. Wolfinger and David Zabel, and executive produced by Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker. It is inspired by the memoirs and letters of actual doctors and female nurse volunteers at Mansion House Hospital, a luxury hotel in Alexandria that was transformed into a Union Army hospital during the Civil War. The six-episode first season will film in the Richmond and Petersburg areas in the late spring and is scheduled to premiere in the winter of 2016. The title of the series and cast will be announced at a future date. Speaking about todays announcement, Governor McAuliffe said, We are proud to be hosting this series because it is a Virginia story and an American story of people who struggled to endure and prevail during one of the most divisive eras our nation has ever known. Based on true events, the show follows two volunteer nurses on opposite sides of the Civil War. Mary Phinney is a staunch New England abolitionist while Emma Green is a willful young Confederate belle. As the boundaries of medicine are being explored and expanded, the role of women is also broadening. Here, amongst the collision of a wartime medical drama and a family saga of conflicted loyalties and moral dilemmas, the series plays out a story of the highest stakes. To ensure historical accuracy, a prominent group of historians and medical experts consulted on the development of the project including James Barger, a historian and curator at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery who received an MA in history from Virginia Tech. He is a lifelong Alexandrian and author of Alexandria in the Civil War. He is also a historical consultant and editor of several notable Civil War publications.
