NEWARK, NJ - A part of Branch Brook Park will be closed tomorrow for the filming of a new NBC psychological thriller.

Crews will be shooting for “The Enemy Within” from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., keeping the county park closed between Clifton to Bloomfield avenues, a county spokesman said.

The show stars Jennifer Carpenter, who plays a former CIA operative serving a life sentence for becoming a notorious traitor. Her skills are called upon when an FBI agent, played by Morris Chestnut, needs help tracking down an elusive criminal.

More filming has been occurring in Newark ever since Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Garden State Film and Digital Media Jobs Act last year. The bill allocates up to $75 million in tax credits to film productions over five years. Digital productions can receive up to $10 million in tax credits too.

There were several days of filming last October in Newark for the new “Joker” movie. The film tells the backstory of the popular Batman villain and stars Joaquin Phoenix.
