Netflix Constructs $6.28M Fake Truck Stop in Middletown for Adam Driver Film
A new roadside facade on Route 35 in Middletown is drawing attention. The mock station displays $6.28 per gallon for unleaded and $7.20 for diesel, but it is not open to drivers.
The build is a set for a Netflix crime series called “Rabbit, Rabbit.” Adam Driver is identified as the lead actor for the production.
Set construction and appearance
The structure occupies the former Circus Liquors/Calico the Evil Clown parcel. Crews designed it to look like a fully functional gas station.
Signage and pump pricing are public facing. The work was completed quickly and will remain during filming.
Production details and schedule
Project notices list Netflix as the distribution platform. MRC and Truck Stop Productions are named as the companies behind the shoot.
Published materials describe Driver’s character as a truck driver who kidnaps people and uses the fabricated station as a base. Filming is scheduled through late June, with one set of dates running March 16 to June 26, and notices indicating activity beginning the week of March 22.
Access and on-site rules
The lot is closed to the public while crews are present. Production materials say the property will be restored after shooting finishes.
Local impact and unanswered questions
The visible, nonoperational set has prompted community curiosity and occasional confusion. Residents encountering the display may mistake it for an active station.
Typical short-term effects are expected. These include crew lodging, support services, and controlled temporary closures affecting traffic and access.
Available records include production credits and scheduling notices. They do not include statements from named local officials or detailed traffic plans, leaving some operational details unaddressed.
Broader implications
The Netflix construct — a fake truck stop in Middletown for a film starring Adam Driver — highlights how location shoots alter everyday spaces. The installation has already sparked conversation about perception, property use, and temporary changes on Route 35.
