For its highly-anticipated second season The Last of Us crew used filming locations all over the Metro Vancouver and the region.
Fans reported spotting the hit HBO show's sets, from Stanley Park to downtown Vancouver to Nanaimo.

In light of the post-apocalyptic zombie drama's second season premiering Sunday, April 13, here' a look at The Last of Us filming locations in southern B.C. and what local spots fans can watch for.
The show has been renewed , though no location has been confirmed for production.
Gastown, Chinatown, and the DTES
As Seattle is a significant setting in the original The Last of Us video games, Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»will be playing its southern neighbour in the second season.
Gastown, Chinatown, and the Downtown Eastside appear to all be standing in for Seattle.
Several sets were built on streets in the East Van neighbourhoods in mid-2024.
In May, Alexander Street was made to look like a post-apocalyptic streetscape with debris, plants, and moss-covered vehicles moved into Gastown.
Then, in the summer, the show's crew popped up in lots of nearby spots.
A couple of blocks of Raymur Avenue were used in mid-July for an overnight shoot. Around the same time Chinatown was used; the intersection of Columbia and Pender streets was dressed up to look abandoned.
Another set was built involving Arch Alley and East Cordova Street, where shooting took place in early August.
Stanley Park and the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Aquarium
Vancouver's iconic park and aquarium were used several times by The Last of Us while in town.
In July, the crew was spotted in the park. More scenes were filemd in the park's forest in September.
In what were likely some of the last filming days in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»for season two, shooting took place at the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Aquarium in mid-January 2025.
The Orpheum Theatre

The show filmed at the iconic performance venue and outside on Granville Street in July.
Harbour Green Park
The Coal Harbour park was used for a few days in late July. It was cordoned off from the public and appeared to have several vehicles flipped over in it. Last of Us co-star Bella Ramsey was spotted there as well.
Pacific Spirit Park
In one of the smaller scenes shot here, a military or paramilitary convoy was spotted rolling through the park on West 16th Avenue between Blanca Street and Wesbrook Mall, which leads into UBC.
