USA’s ‘Dig’ to Relocate to Croatia Amid Gaza Strip Conflict

USA Network's Dig will be relocating to Croatia, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

Though a timetable hasn't been finalized, the NBCUniversal-owned cable network is eyeing a Sept. 1 start date in Croatia and plans to film in the country for approximately 13 days. The hour-long drama, which was forced to move production from Israel after weeks of rocket attacks put it on a prolonged hiatus, will then move to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The six-episode event series from Tim Kring and Gideon Raff already shot its Jerusalem-centered pilot in the city.

The conflict has stalled nearly all current and upcoming TV production in the area, and saw FX's Middle Eastern drama Tyrant relocated to Turkey.

Raff, a native of Israel, has said shooting Jerusalem was "a key element in our show."

"We wanted to and chose to shoot in Jerusalem because of all the history there," Raff said during the show's July 14 summer Television Critics Association panel promoting Dig.

Dig stars Jason Isaacs and Anne Heche and is slated to premiere in October.
