‘Duster’: HBO show being shot on West Campus

A new HBO MAX series called “Duster” will have Pima Community College’s West Campus as part of its backdrop.

The series is reported to be about a getaway driver from the 1970s. A security guard on set described the plot as sort of a spinoff from “Breaking Bad.” 

There are multiple sets in Tucson, including one of them being in the back parking lot of Pima. 

There were multiple older expensive cars on the set. When I walked on to get more information, I was escorted off because of COVID protocols and NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements). 

If the pilot episode goes well, filming will continue for seven to 10 weeks, the security guard said. The movie is expected to generate $50 to $70 million for Tucson.
