Where is FBI Most Wanted filmed?

Areas across New York City and Queens, New York

FBI: Most Wanted is filmed in different parts of the state of New York, specifically New York City; in areas like Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, according to The Cinemaholic. The parking lot of Staten Island Mall in New Springville was used for filming a car chase sequence involving two police cars. A residential area in Richmond also made it into FBI: Most Wanted, where a private property on the corner of Thomas Street and McKinley Avenue was chosen for filming. A few production trucks were parked in a lot near Historic Richmond Town, as the nearby streets were temporarily blocked. 

Parts of Queens borough were also used for filming portions of an episode in the series, including the Calvary Cemetery in Woodside. The FBI Newark Field Office is actually the Margaret Kiely Hall of Queens College at Kew Garden Hills. You may also spot Mount Prospect Park in Brooklyn in a few scenes.

Bunbury's Coffee Shop, Piermont, New York

Piermont is a village in Rockland County, New York and eventually became part of filming for FBI: Most Wanted. The Bunbury’s Coffee Shop served as a filming site for a few scenes. Piermont has been a destination favourite for TV and movie filming dating back to 1983-84 when veteran actor Woody Allen gave the downtown a Depression-era look for The Purple Rose of Cairo. More recently, the village's downtown was used as the fictional town of Wappinger Falls for the Netflix show The Sinner.
