The Night Agent Filming Locations
‘The Night Agent’ is filmed in British Columbia, Washington, DC, and California, especially in Metro Vancouver and Los Angeles. As per reports, the principal photography for the debut season commenced in February 2022 and wrapped up in late June of the same year. Now, let’s not waste time and dive right into the specific locations where the action takes place!
Metro Vancouver, British Columbia
Most of the Washington, DC portions for ‘The Night Agent’ is lensed in Metro Vancouver, aka Greater Vancouver, with the filming unit traveling across the metropolitan area. Serving as the primary production location, the region also stands in for Rome in the action thriller series. In March 2022, the production team was spotted by many locals and passersby under the Cambie Street Bridge in Vancouver, recording some homeless camp sight scenes for season 1.
In addition, the Vancouver Art Gallery at 750 Hornby Street in Vancouver and surrounding areas are transformed into Washington, DC. The cast and crew utilize several streets and sites in Vancouver to shoot car chase sequences, including the 700-1000 Block of West Pender Street, the area around Pacific Central Station at 1150 Station Street, and the Georgia Viaduct bridge, which they shut overnight for two days during the shooting of the debut season.

Moreover, the helicopter crash scenes for season 1 were taped in and around Joe Brown Park at 5381 125a Street in the city of Surrey.
"The Night Agent" was filming at Surrey's Joe Brown Park in recent days, with lots of military vehicles. I'm told they blew up a helicopter for one scene. Anyone know anything, or have photos? @yvrshootstweets #SurreyBC https://t.co/mMwlqMjCWF

Washington, DC
Since the story is set in Washington, DC, it is only fitting that some parts, primarily exterior shots, of ‘The Night Agent’ are recorded in the country’s capital city and federal district. The aerial shots of the capital with the White House, the Capitol Building, and the famous Washington Monument in the backdrop regularly feature in the series.
Los Angeles, California
