Part one of the new series The Artist comes to the streaming platform The Network on November 27th, followed by part two on December 25th.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Gregg and Anderson opened up about filming one of the series most iconic moments: a spectacle involving camels, a live band, and gunfire.

“Turns out I love camels. Who knew?” Gregg told the site with a laugh. Anderson added that she had never even seen a camel in real life before filming.

Gregg reflected on the ambitious scene from episode three. “[T]his was a huge scene with camels and the period costumes and gunfire and all of that stuff. So, it felt like a really big moment in the show, and luckily, it was really well written and really fun to play.”

The whole part of the shoot moved very quickly, according to Anderson. “What I can pride Hilary Shor and Aram Rappaport on is they really kept us going on that day, because we had pretty much at the entire beginning of the episode three…in one day,” said the actress, adding that it bonded the two of them.

Christopher GorhamTonight, an all-new episode of Sheriff Country airs on CBS.
