ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The New Mexico Film Office has announced that the television series “Hate Train” is set to begin principal photography next month, filming in both Albuquerque and Farmington.
The production plans to utilize two available state tax incentives, including an additional 5% for TV series and the 10% rural uplift for filming in Farmington. “Hate Train” is the latest long-term television project to call New Mexico home.
“New Mexico continues to be a sought-after home for television series, and projects like this show why,” the director of the New Mexico Film Office, Steve Graham, said of the series. “The state’s competitive tax incentive is a powerful tool designed to attract and support multi-season productions and prove our commitment to a stable, long-term home for diverse storytelling.”

“Hate Train,” directed by Larry Layfield and produced by LaTonja Sutton, is a powerful series following a railroad union executive managing a deeply ingrained racist ideology. The story examines his inner conflict as he confronts his prejudices, as he must ultimately choose whether to stand his ground or embrace profound personal change.
Sutton noted that “action brings change.” This poignant narrative explores themes of social evolution and the potential for transformation within a difficult historical context.
Showcasing the Land of Enchantment’s unique locations and dedicated talent, the production will employ over 50 New Mexico residents. This includes 12 resident crew members, seven principal actors, and nearly 40 background talent.
