A new Amazon Studios series expected to film this summer in Nova Scotia has become a multimillion-dollar casualty of the pandemic s third wave in the province.
The coming-of-age series,
The Summer I Turned Pretty, was due to start production around July on the South Shore, but Amazon said this week it will now be shot in the U.S. where COVID-19 restrictions have eased. It s quite a blow, it really shocked quite a few people, said Shelley Bibby, a business agent with Local 849 of IATSE, the union representing technicians and artists in the film and TV industry.
