The plot of Yellowjackets takes place somewhere in the Canadian wilderness after the titular New Jersey soccer team’s plane crashes during a flight to Seattle where they are expected to play in a national tournament. The pilot episode is based in New Jersey where the soccer team originates.

The majority of Yellowjackets was actually filmed at Bridge Studios in Burnaby near Vancouver, Canada, where production had moved to after being suspended in 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The massive complex features 15 acres of sound stages, where most of the indoor shots for the show, as well as the plane crash scene were filmed.

Additionally, some of the early wilderness shots were filmed at Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort in Mammoth Lakes, California.

There are several other filming locations in and around Vancouver. According to EW, Taissa’s home exterior was shot near Columbia Street in Downtown Vancouver. The motel where Natalie was staying is the 2400 Motel in Vancouver and lastly, Natalie’s blackmail meet-up was filmed at Finch’s Tea House in Vancouver.
