If you’ve ever watched a Netflix show and asked yourself, “Where was that filmed?” you’re in luck. Netflix in Your Neighbourhood is an interactive website experience that lets fans discover the real Canadian locations behind some of the platform’s biggest titles, and Alberta is taking centre stage.
The map allows users to browse filming locations by title, city, or province, making it easy to see just how often Alberta’s mountains, prairies and small towns have appeared on screen.
Whether you’re a longtime Netflix fan or simply looking for your next weekend adventure, it’s a fun way to explore the province through some of its most recognizable filming locations. From hit dramas to post-apocalyptic thrillers, you’ll discover just how many productions have called Alberta home.
In the Alberta section on the Netflix in Your Neighbourhood website, users can click through a range of Netflix titles and see exactly where scenes were filmed across the province. Each show or movie is pinned to a real location on the interactive map, highlighting places like Calgary, Cochrane, High River, and Drumheller.
Some of the shows listed on the map include My Life with the Walter Boys, a coming-of-age drama that follows a teenage girl who is forced to adjust to a new life in rural Colorado after a family tragedy. The series was filmed throughout southern Alberta, with locations in Calgary, Cochrane, Crossfield, High River and nearby communities helping bring the fictional town of Silver Falls to life.
Also featured is The Abandons, Netflix’s upcoming Western drama created by Kurt Sutter. The series follows two very different families fighting for survival and control in a lawless frontier environment. Filmed across southern Alberta, the production makes use of the province’s sweeping prairies and rugged landscape, giving it an authentic Western feel that mirrors the era’s isolation and intensity.
Another highlighted title is Black Summer, a post-apocalyptic zombie series that follows a group of strangers as they try to survive in the early days of a deadly outbreak. The production used Calgary and surrounding communities as the backdrop for its high-stakes survival story.
And if you’re curious about what’s filming around the province at the current moment, here’s a look at some of the productions you might spot around the city right now.
From Calgary to the Rockies, Alberta has quietly become a backdrop for some of Netflix’s biggest movies and TV shows. Now you have the opportunity to explore those locations with Netflix in Your Neighbourhood, turning everyday places into scenes you’ve probably seen on your screen. Safe to say your next road trip might be planned for you.
