Showtime's Brotherhood to return to RI for third season

Despite writer's strike, cable TV drama will shoot eight more episodes on-location in Providence and other RI sites

The Rhode Island Film & Television Office is very proud to announce that BROTHERHOOD, the critically acclaimed winner of a 2007 Peabody award, has been picked up for a third season and will continue to be shot on location in Rhode Island...

...Steven Feinberg, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Film & Television Office, welcomes the groundbreaking series BROTHERHOOD back to the Ocean State, adding, "Historically, this is the first television series to be filmed entirely in Rhode Island. It highlights what a remarkable success can occur when city and state officials work in conjunction with the private sector to foster a healthy environment for creative talents to shine. The return of BROTHERHOOD will provide additional opportunities for our talented and dedicated local workforce. In the previous two seasons, BROTHERHOOD has employed over 300 local full-time crew members and produced more than 225 speaking roles for local actors, along with approximately 3,000 extra and walk-on roles. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Showtime executives, producers, cast and crew for making our beautiful state their location of choice."
