Beacon residents started spotting yellow signs around town in May 2024, a hint that a film crew had moved into the Hudson Valley for a movie starring Rachael Leigh Cook. The project, There She Goes, later filmed up and down Main Street in Beacon and at the Mount Gulian historic site, and it is now set to premiere on Fox on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 8 pm EST.
The film follows, in FoxTV's description, a former 90s teen rom-com star who fades from the limelight and moves back home, only to get entangled in an unpredictable new love story. Cook stars alongside Utkarsh Ambudkar and Ryan Hansen, giving the project a cast built for the kind of broad, nostalgic appeal that has helped keep cable movie premieres alive.
For Beacon, the movie was not just something that happened nearby. Local viewers could recognize their own streets in the preview clip, a reminder that the town's storefronts and historic sites were part of the finished product. The filming also added another title to a Hudson Valley production map that has stayed busy with screen work and release dates that keep landing on the calendar.
That broader slate matters because There She Goes arrives alongside other region-linked projects. A casting call for The Woods went out a few weeks before May 2026, with shooting planned in Newburgh and surrounding towns, Tuxedo Park, Harriman State Park and Forestburgh. The Woods is the Netflix adaptation of Liz Moore's The Good Of The Woods, which follows a 13-year-old girl who goes missing from a camp in the Adirondacks. Netflix's The Four Season Season 2 is also set to air May 28, 2026, while the Prime Christmas movie Clashing Through the Snow is scheduled to premiere in 2026.
The overlap gives the Hudson Valley a rare concentration of screen traffic at the same moment one local production reaches viewers nationwide. Beacon's yellow signs are gone, but the movie they pointed to is about to reappear in living rooms, with a story that starts in a small town and ends in prime-time on Fox.
