‘Mrs. America‘ is a Hulu mini-series that presents the shocking true story involving the battle waged by second-wave feminists to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and their opposition…by a woman. As crazy as that might sound, the Hulu mini-series serves to be a crucial depiction of one of the most important fights of the feminist movement: a fight that would change the political landscape of the United States forever.

Cate Blanchett plays Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative woman who successfully campaigned against the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The star-studded mini-series also features Rose Byrne, Margo Martindale, and Uzo Aduba in pivotal roles.

‘Mrs. America’ is a mini-series with a decidedly period setting. The setting and time period are integral to the narrative, based on a true story. Moreover, the Hulu mini-series boasts high production value. Hence, everything from the characters’ costumes to other mise-en-scene elements in the frame has been nailed to perfection. Hence, it is natural for viewers to wonder where ‘Mrs. America’ is filmed.

Toronto, Ontario

It may be surprising for several viewers that ‘Mrs. America’ is not actually filmed in the United States of America. Instead, it has been entirely shot in Canada. To be more precise, ‘Mrs. America’ has been filmed in the province of Ontario. Canada has been attracting a large number of film projects lately. This is mainly because of the country’s lucrative tax credits program, which allows filmmakers to cut their shooting budgets considerably. In return, the filming activities help diversify the local economy.

A major part of the shooting of ‘Mrs. America’ was carried out in the city of Toronto. Reportedly, the production designers had to get extremely creative while filming the mini-series in Toronto due to the lack of studio space in the city. Alternatively, various other locations like warehouses had to be scouted for.

Several people also posted photos of Cate Blanchett and other cast members shooting in Toronto.

Hamilton, Ontario

When it comes to Hamilton, a few residents shared how a few scenes of the mini-series were filmed at a church on Charlton Avenue.

Moreover, according to local sources, filming was also carried out at Temple Anshe Sholom on 215 Cline Ave N in Hamilton.

The producers of ‘Mrs. America’ paid for a trip to Dundurn Castle for the kids so that filming could be carried out unobstructed.  

Apart from Ontario, there have also been reports that some part of the filming was actually carried out in New York City. Though we have not been able to independently verify this claim.
