We have filmed in over 4,500 cities and towns around the world.
Every “pod” episode of our European adaptations of Love is Blind is filmed at a single hub in Strängnäs, a tiny city outside Stockholm, Sweden. For roughly 40 weeks a year, it’s a bustling set employing set designers, lighting and audio crew, makeup artists and caterers, while supporting local hotels and transportation companies that make the cast and crew feel at home.
Over 330 hopeful romantics have hit the pods in Strängnäs in search of their perfect match, hailing from the UK, Italy, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, France and Germany.
The ten seasons of the series shot in Strängnäs have generated over 50M global views.
...and produced six Love Is Blind babies!
“When a place like Strängnäs is home to all European productions of a global franchise like Love Is Blind, it sends a powerful message about the role smaller cities can play on the international stage.”
The Colombian crime thriller series Frontera Verde (Green Frontier) tells the story of a young detective who investigates four femicides deep in the Amazon jungle.
A crew of 150 made Frontera Verde possible, with 30 members coming from the local Amazonian community.
The Morales family from Leticia was part of the Frontera Verde crew, working as makeup artists’ assistants, production assistants and actors. Walter Morales led the blessing ritual before we kicked off shooting.
Frontera Verde was filmed in more than 50 different locations within the Amazon rainforest and featured local actors.
NEW MEXICO, USA
Netflix started producing series and films in New Mexico in 2015 and established a production hub in Albuquerque in 2018. Ransom Canyon, a steamy Western romance, was filmed at the hub and other locations throughout New Mexico.
We’ve filmed shows and movies like Stranger Things,The Harder They Fall, Army of the Dead, Chupa and El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie at our hub in Albuquerque.
SPOTLIGHT ALBUQUERQUE
“When we brought Netflix to Albuquerque, we put the spotlight on our city’s strong film economy and joined our brand to one of the top companies in the new global economy.”
When Life Gives You Tangerines
The heartfelt romantic drama set on South Korea’s largest island takes place over 50 years, as a couple builds a life together despite the odds.
The 16-episode series contributed over ₩90B (KRW) to the Korean economy.
The production team and nearly 4,000 vendors went to extreme lengths to ensure the series was historically accurate, blending real landmarks with meticulously reconstructed sets depicting different time periods.
Over 600 cast and crew worked on the series, which won four Baeksang Arts Awards.
The series highlights the stories of Jeju Island’s Haenyeo community — women who free dive in the waters off the island, without oxygen masks, to harvest seafood. Some Haenyeo are in their eighties.
