Warner Bros. Television‘s Suburgatory is going where no scripted series has gone before: to upstate New York, where it will transform 400 acres of unclaimed land to create an actual new town, inspired by the series’ fictional town of Chatswin. Suburgatory will film upcoming episodes in the new locale, and signature businesses such as A Crystal Cup of Crystals, Chatswin High School, Chatswin Country Club and The Gurt Locker will become working establishments. Series star Ana Gasteyer has agreed to relocate with her family from New York City and they will become full-time residents of Chatswin. Plus, she will occasionally host dinners, craft-making parties and gardening events for fans – in character as Sheila Shay. In another first, viewers of Suburgatory will have the opportunity to become official residents of Chatswin. All details  including home listings, job openings and educational enrollment – can be found at www.thewb.com/suburgatory.
