Last summer and fall, Philly was full of Andre 3000 flute serenades, Jason Segel wedding photobombs and random Sally Field sightings.

We found out what it was all about in November, when a 45-second trailer revealed the endgame of the shoots was a Segel-produced dark thriller situation called “Dispatches from Elsewhere.”

Unlike some other movies or shows filmed here, this one appears to be actually set in Philadelphia.

In advance of the AMC series’ premiere on March 1, a new, longer trailer just dropped — and it is chock full of recognizable locations.

The show’s plot might still be a little fuzzy — we’re picking up on a group of strangers brought together by a series of random signs to find a missing girl? — but if nothing else, playing “I spy” Philly edition is enough to get us excited about the March premiere.

Here’s what we saw. Send a note to tips@billypenn.com if you spot something we missed!

We don’t know exactly why yet, but some on-film protests popped outside of the luxury apartments near 6th and Walnut.
