Popular TV shows filming in-and-around Vancouver
Yellowjackets (season 2)
This award-nominated and critically acclaimed series (which jumps between teens in the 90s and present-day) follows the adult survivors of a plane crash. It combines several genres: coming-of-age, mystery, horror, psychological thriller — and makes for a compelling watch. It films in both Los Angeles and Vancouver. Past shooting locations include Finch’s Tea House, Holy Rosary Cathedral, the 2400 Motel and forested areas (if you’ve watched the show, you know why). Star Juliette Lewis does have a complaint with B.C. — she can’t find a satisfactory cold brew.
Filming until February 17, 2023.
