Miranda Cosgrove thinks she’s headed to France in The Wrong Paris—the new Netflix romantic comedy that began streaming today—but ends up in her home state of Texas. But in reality, The Wrong Paris cast wasn’t in Texas at all.
Directed by Janeen Damian, with a screenplay written by Nicole Henrich, The Wrong Paris stars Cosgrove as Dawn, who dreams of attending art school in Paris. But even though she was accepted, she can’t afford the flight and tuition. Her sister offers a solution: Audition for The Bachelor-esque show, The Honey Pot, which films in Paris and offers a generous appearance fee to contestants. Free flight to Paris, plus money for tuition! When it turns out the show is filming in Paris, Texas instead of Paris, France, Dawn is more than a little upset. But she can’t back out without losing her appearance fee. Plus, this season’s Honey, Trey McAllen (played by Pierson Fodé), is actually pretty cute.
Dawn decides to stick out the show in the Texas heat. But if you think The Wrong Paris cast looks a little chilly, you’re right. In fact, they were filming somewhere far north of Paris, Texas. Read on to learn more about The Wrong Paris filming locations.
The Wrong Paris was filmed on location, but not in Paris, Texas. The Wrong Paris was filmed, for the most part, in Vancouver, Canada in September and October 2024. One thing about Vancouver in the fall? It rains a lot more than in Texas.
“We had some really nice sunny days, but there were definitely a lot of rainy days too,” Cosgrove told Decider in a recent interview. That includes the day that Cosgrove and Madison Pettis filmed the scene where they wrestle in the mud.
“It was crazy because I had a really bad cold when we filmed it, and it just happened to rain really hard that day. But you can’t even tell it’s raining in the movie,” Cosgrove said. “There’s not anything quite like wrestling with someone in mud in the rain. I’ve never done anything like that before. I feel like we’ll always be friends because of it.”
Parts of The Wrong Paris also filmed in Agassiz, British Columbia, which is a city east of Vancouver. According to a report from the Agassiz-Harrison Observer, the movie filmed on parts of Pioneer Avenue and Park Street in Agassiz.
Despite the rain, Cosgrove said she enjoyed her time in Canada.
“It’s beautiful there,” Cosgrove told Decider. “We filmed it a lot of ranches, so that was really fun. I love the feeling of being on a ranch, because I’m from the city, I’m from LA, and it was a totally different pace and vibe on a ranch. I really liked it. Like, I could see myself living on a ranch some day because of it.”
