Where is 'American Auto' filmed? From the creator of 'Superstore' and 'The Office' comes yet another NBC workplace comedy starring SNL's Ana Gasteyer.
Almost 365 days after the collection finale of Superstore, Justin Spitzer — often referred to as the king of workplace comedies — returns to NBC with American Auto. The sequence follows the dysfunctional group of workers who paintings at Payne Motors and their new boss, Katherine Hastings (played by way of SNL alum Ana Gasteyer).
While Superstore was based in St. Louis, Mo., the sequence synopsis for American Auto finds that the display is set in Detroit. (We're starting to assume Justin has a factor for the Midwest.) But given that many of Justin's earlier initiatives have not filmed in the cities where they are set, some fans are questioning: Where is American Auto filmed?
Where is 'American Auto' filmed?
Although American Auto is set in Detroit (aka the Motor City), the sequence is filmed in Los Angeles, possibly at Universal Studios Hollywood. But that does not imply the display's set design wasn't impressed via one thing actual. According to The Cinemeholic, Justin reached out to Alessandro Uzielli — the great-great-grandson of Henry Ford — for a tour of the Ford Motors company place of work in Dearborn, Mich., and the Dearborn Truck Plant.
Michigan’s decades-long influence on the automotive trade makes the town the highest backdrop for the show. In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, Justin published, "It wasn’t really supposed to be a story about the auto industry or set in Detroit or anything. I just wanted a more specific industry than just, like, generic widgets."
Justin went on to say he doesn't describe himself as a automotive fanatic and, in fact, his latest show was once born on a whim. "I wanted it to be a big multimillion- [or] billion-dollar company that touches on a lot of areas. And the auto industry sort of fit into that."
Meet the forged of 'American Auto'
Among the actors to sign up for the solid of American Auto are Harriet Dyer (The Invisible Man), Jon Barinholtz (Superstore), Tye White (Greenleaf), Michael Benjamin Washington (Ratched), and their apathetic CEO, who is performed through highly decorated Saturday Night Live celebrity Ana Gasteyer.
Ana’s persona, Katherine, labored in the pharmaceutical sooner than she was once employed at Payne Motors. Although witty, Katherine has no enjoy in the car business, and promos tease that viewers are in for a wild experience.
Justin instructed Mashable that he approached the SNL veteran’s personality building in a different way than he had in previous initiatives like The Office. "It's great to have a boss who's kind of dumb or making mistakes because then even if the other characters are smart, they have to go along with it," obviously referencing Steve Carell's persona Michael Scott.
"[But] in this show, Katherine (Gasteyer) is smart and competent," he endured. "She still makes mistakes — and that's where I think it was helpful to have her come from a very different industry — but that's something that presents its own challenges."
Ahead of the show’s premiere, American Auto won combined opinions online. While the sequence has an excellent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics complain that the show leaves a lot to be desired.
American Auto premieres following the debut of sitcoms Grand Crew and Abbott Elementary. You can catch new episodes on Tuesdays at Nine p.m. EST on NBC.
