With quite a few movies and TV shows filming right now, make sure to keep your eyes peeled around town. You just never know when you might catch a glimpse of all the action happening. Bright lights, cameras rolling, celebrity sightings – the possibilities are endless!
From brand new movies like Longlegs, to your favourite series like Yellowjackets and The Good Doctor returning for another season, here is what’s filming in Vancouver this February.
LONGLEGS
Longlegs is a new feature film that set up shop in Vancouver this past January. Filming for the project brings none other than Nicolas Cage to town!
Cage will produce and star in the horror-thriller movie about an FBI agent who joins an unsolved investigation for a killer known as “longlegs” which will be played by Cage himself. Filming is expected to wrap by February 23.
RESIDENT ALIEN – SEASON 3
Resident Alien will begin filming in the Metro Vancouver area this February for its second season. Filming is expected to be underway until May.
The series stars Alan Tudyk as an alien who lands on earth and takes on the identity of a doctor named Harry. Things get even more interesting when somehow, a nine-year-old boy in town is able to see his true alien identity.
RIVERDALE – SEASON 7
Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead — the gang’s all here this winter!
Riverdale returned to Vancouver back in October to begin filming its seventh and final season. Based on the Archie comics, Riverdale has been filming in the Metro Vancouver area for years. Sadly this will be the cast and crew’s last time on location after it was announced that the Netflix series will end with season seven. Filming will be underway until June.

THE FLASH – SEASON 9
The Flash is in Vancouver this month to film its ninth and final season. The action series is based on the DC comics and stars Grant Gustin as crime scene investigator Barry Allen, a man who has the superpower of speed and uses it to rescue innocents while fighting crime.
In January filming took place downtown at the Vancouver Art Gallery, where it seems Arrow’s Stephen Amell was spotted on set. Filming is expected to continue in town until sometime in March.

YELLOWJACKETS – SEASON 2
Showtime’s Yellowjackets is in Vancouver right now filming for its second season. The series stars popular long-time actress Christina Ricci, alongside Juliette Lewis, Melanie Lynskey, and Tawny Cypress, among others.
The storyline is about a group of female soccer players who end up stranded in the Canadian wilderness after their plane crashes — and brings some serious Lord of the Flies vibes. Also, expect lots of flashbacks and shifts in time as the series follows the girls from teenagers to adults. Filming will be underway until mid February.
SUPERMAN & LOIS – SEASON 3
Superman & Lois is filming season three in the Metro Vancouver area this February. The superhero drama series follows the popular DC Comics characters — the one and only Superman and Lois Lane.
