News has been scarce since we got the announcement that The Newsroom season 3 would be the show’s last, but late last night, one of the show’s actors tweeted that filming begins soon!
We are all anxiously awaiting any news we can get about The Newsroom season 3, especially since season 2 had pretty much completed filming by this time last year. No news has leaked since the devastating announcement that the third season would be its last, which included a generic mention that filming would begin this spring.
Well, late last night, Kelen Coleman (better known to The Newsroom viewers as Lisa, Maggie’s roommate & Jim’s former flame) tweeted that filming begins in April.
“@HSLjewelry: @Kelencoleman oh, sorry. The Newsroom.” Shooting starts beginning April. Not sure who is back besides main 8.

As far as the main eight that she referred to, we assume she meant Jeff Daniels (Will McAvoy), Emily Mortimer (Mackenzie McHale), John Gallagher Jr. (Jim Harper), Alison Pill (Maggie Jordan), Thomas Sadoski (Don Keefer), Dev Patel (Neal Sampat), Olivia Munn (Sloan Sabbith), and Sam Waterston (Charlie Skinner).
Surely others will be brought back, especially the rest of the Newsroom staffers including Chris Chalk (Gary Cooper), Margaret Judson (Tess Westin), and Adina Porter (Kendra James), as well as the big bad Lansings played by Chris Messina (Reese) and Jane Fonda (Leona), but we will only know more as we get closer to the premiere this fall.
This isn’t an official announcement from HBO, but as Coleman has had a substantial role on the show, its probably a safe bet that this information is accurate, especially since it falls in line with their previous announcement.
Hopefully, once filming begins we will get a glimpse at scenes shooting outdoors as we did last fall, but until then, we can only grasp onto these nuggets of information as we get them and hold on for dear life.
