The CBS show isn’t blazing a new trail by choosing the coastal city as its base. Vancouver has welcomed numerous productions, including James Gunn’s “Peacemaker,” as well as fan favorites like “Supernatural,” “Riverdale,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” and “The Last of Us.” While “Tracker” primarily calls Vancouver home, its production frequently ventures throughout the area, seldom revisiting the same exterior location twice. Here’s a closer look at the filming sites for “Tracker.”

The “Tracker” team has explored a diverse array of locations within British Columbia. The show’s debut episode, aptly named “Klamath Falls,” opens in what is depicted as Black Rock Desert, Nevada. However, these scenes were actually captured in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, between Cache Creek and Walhachin. The episode also features Klamath Falls City Hall and Police Department, which are, in reality, the Inlet Theatre in Port Moody, part of the Metro Vancouver Regional District. If you’re curious about the Wyoming Science University seen in the episode “Beyond the Campus Walls,” it’s filmed at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, another Metro Vancouver locale.

“Tracker” capitalizes on British Columbia’s stunning natural beauty, capturing the picturesque drive from Vancouver to Whistler, including breathtaking shots of Howe Sound. The production also features scenes at the Capilano Dam and Juniper Beach Provincial Park. But what about the interior scenes? Are they shot locally or elsewhere in Hollywood? The answer is local, with most interior scenes filmed at Vancouver Film Studios, a versatile facility that has hosted a multitude of Hollywood productions, including “Deadpool,” “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and “Elf.”

In Vancouver itself, the show has utilized George Wainborn Park (with the Granville Bridge clearly visible in some shots) and the city’s Chinatown area has also been used, with the Liang You Book store on East Georgia Street appearing in Episode 7. Vancouver’s streets have doubled for American cities as different as Boston and Chicago, such is the variety available to location scouts. The Season 1 finale “The Storm” was filmed in Tofino on Vancouver Island. The episode takes place in a fictional Oregon city called Sandy Point, which made Tofino ideal — there’s plenty of sand in this small town located on the west side of the island. “Tracker” shot scenes on Tofino’s Chesterman Beach, which is where the titular survivalist meets with his old friend Lizzy Hawking, whose daughter has gone missing.

“Tracker” really does take full advantage of all the stunning natural beauty in British Columbia: The picturesque drive from Vancouver to Whistler has been shown on screen, with some stunning shots of Howe Sound making the final cut. The crew has also put together scenes at the Capilano Dam and Juniper Beach Provincial Park. But what about the interior scenes? Are they also filmed in the Vancouver area, or are they done separately in Hollywood? The former is the case, with the show shooting most of its interiors in just one take place: Vancouver Film Studios, which has been used for a variety of Hollywood productions over the years. “Deadpool” was made there, as was “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “Elf.”

If there’s a hotel room, a strip club, or an office building to be explored, the odds are it’s a soundstage at Vancouver Film Studios. However, that’s not to say every single interior shot was done there — sometimes, the crew will set up inside real structures. For Season 3, “Tracker” utilized the Sun Bowl Arena in South Okanagan, British Columbia, filming there in August 2025. Local authorities warned residents that “the production may cause temporary noise from trucks, generators and scene sounds,” per Castanet. The ice hockey arena is often used as a venue for amateur athletic organizations and is the home of the Osoyoos Coyotes.
