The New Mexico Film Office Announces Fifth Season of “In Plain Sight” Filming in New Mexico
“We’re thrilled to welcome the well-known TV series, “In Plain Sight” back to Albuquerque for their fifth season in a row,” said Mayor Richard J. Berry. “The cast and crew have been instrumental in showcasing our city’s natural beauty, and creating jobs by staffing 90% of their crew with New Mexico residents.”
The production will employ at least 130 New Mexico crew members and more than 700 principal and background talent. Eight episodes will be shot between January and the beginning of April in and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The home base for the show is I-25 Studios.
“In Plain Sight” stars McCormack as Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshal working in the highly secretive branch of the Witness Protection Program (WITSEC), which relocates federal witnesses, most of whom fall into three categories: career criminals, whistle-blowers or innocents who had the misfortune of witnessing a crime. They all have one thing in common — someone wants them dead.
McCormack’s job is to see that doesn’t happen, while at the same time attempting to manage her own dysfunctional family. The series also stars Frederick Weller, Paul Ben Victor and Rachel Boston, with Lesley Ann Warren and Tangie Ambrose recurring. Ed Decter and John J. Strauss return as executive producers with Dan Lerner as executive producer/director. Natalie Chaidez also serves as executive producer with Michael Reisz as co-executive producer.
