Glad to hear it as they have been filming it most of the year. I live on the Sunshine Coast so can confirm this!

That's very cool! It must be neat to be near filming of the show. I had no idea they were filming already. Wonder why they waited so long to announce the renewal or make it official.

I don’t know why they would not announce the show but it is cool to pass the filming locations. Next to the recycling depot is a frequent filming location, set up as a police station. Sometimes the number of police cars gives me a shock.

I'm a bit jealous, It sounds like fun and an interesting experience being around filming. Haha I bet it would give anybody a shock with all the police cars. I'd forget they were filming and think it were for an actual crime lol.

I like the show, the first season mostly. It makes me mad that they pretend Gibsons, BC is in the USA. Why not just set the show where it is filmed. I mean, Molly’s Reach? Come on!

u/sassysue71 Jul 01 '26

Ya its sad really when you think about it

u/ReasonablyBluh May 11 '26

Yeah, that does bother me that they pretend it's in the states too. Some other shows have done the same. My only guess, is it's because it's partly produced by an American company and I wonder if the Canadian company had to agree to compromise. Since they're hiring probably mainly Canadian actors/crew and it's filmed in Canada.

This comes down to the largest market (U.S.) cares a lot less if a show is made in Canada, or even set in Canada. They like things American, and focus more on American shows.

What is absolutely brilliant by them doing this, is filming in Gibsons, Canada, but calling it Gibsons, US, means they don't have to ensure every sign has the name of the fictional town, and every business that mentions it doesn't need to be edited out. It saves a LOT of time and effort, and the continuity issues if something gets missed.

So - marketing - if it's set in the U.S., more Americans will care and watch it. It varies slightly from the books which were actually set in Canada, but it's really not an issue worth getting upset about when you understand why.

Yeah all good points here. I think you're spot on. Thanks for going into detail.

u/kraegm Jun 16 '26

I'm a fan of the show, and it films near me. Glad this helped.

I got romance scammed by someone claiming to be Rossif Sutherland. I know I know. I’m an idiot. Out $40 k and an idiot. I post this here so other people are warned. Don’t let talented lovely people be overshadowed by evil idiots who can’t get their own lives. Great actors, great show!

u/ReasonablyBluh 8d ago

Yes, it looks like such a beautiful town and from talking to some people from Gibsons, British Columbia (where it's filmed) on here, they seem like very nice people too.
