    Where Was ‘The Night Agent’ Filmed? You Might Be Surprised

    Presidential retreat Camp David was filmed in five different Canadian locations.

 🤐 SPOILER ALERT 🤐

Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) and Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan) cover a lot of ground throughout the first season of The Night Agent. The series follows FBI agent Peter and tech entrepreneur Rose as they untangle a conspiracy in the White House that takes them on a journey around Washington, DC and the mid-Atlantic area. But the series was actually shot in British Columbia, Canada, with Vancouver standing in for the US capital city. Tudum rounded up the key locations used in the 2022 shoot — read on to find out where The Night Agent’s most pivotal scenes were filmed.

Metro exterior

Vancouver Art Gallery Plaza 

The series begins with Peter thwarting a bombing on the DC Metro, saving nearly everyone on his train. While the subway scenes were filmed at a local studio, the exterior of the Metro, where Peter spots the  suspect and immediately gives chase, begins in the downtown  plaza of the Vancouver Art Gallery .

The JW Marriott Parq Vancouver stands in for the Rembourne Hotel.

JW Marriott Parq Vancouver

After Rose narrowly escapes the assassins who kill her aunt and uncle, she holes up in a hotel room guarded by Secret Service agents. That hotel, and the major chase scene and shootout that take place there, were filmed at a Vancouver JW Marriott.

Georgetown University

University of British Columbia, St. James Anglican Church

The University of British Columbia stands in for Georgetown in most of the campus-set scenes with vice presidential daughter Maddie Redfield (Sarah Desjardins) and her Secret Service agents Chelsea Arrington (Fola Evans-Akingbola) and D.B. Woodside (Erik Monks), including the university’s chemistry building and the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at the UBC Library. The library scenes were shot at St. James Anglican Church.

Sarah Desjardins plays the vice president’s daughter in ‘The Night Agent.’

College bar, Paulo’s house

The Ironworks

The bar where Maddie encounters a not-so-friendly classmate was filmed at the Gastown event space the Ironworks, which is home to a variety of events from film and TV shoots to arts classes. Fun fact: The venue served double duty — an upstairs studio stands in for the home of Maddie’s art teacher, Paulo (Greyston Holt), where Maddie is kidnapped.

Luciane Buchanan plays tech wizard Rose Larkin in ‘The Night Agent.’

The Hilltop Cafe

Hilltop Diner Cafe

Rose does some of her tech wizardry after setting up shop at a diner. Those scenes were filmed at an actual restaurant in Langley, British Columbia.

The Campbells’ cabin

Golden Ears Provincial Park

The remote cabin where Rose and Peter take refuge is actually located outside of Vancouver in the Coast Mountains, in a park named after the twin peaks known as the Golden Ears.

Vancouver’s New Brighton Beach stands in for Foundry Branch Park in a pivotal ‘Night Agent’ scene.

Foundry Branch Park

New Brighton Beach

A public park much closer to the Vancouver city center served as the picturesque location of a key moment — when Peter comes to Rose’s rescue and confronts Dale (Phoenix Raei), one of the assassins chasing after the duo.

Rose (Luciane Buchanan) and Peter (Gabriel Basso) are on the run in ‘The Night Agent.’

Maryland marina

Shelter Island Marina

Another of Peter and Rose’s temporary safe houses is a boat belonging to his godfather, where Chelsea and Erik finally catch up to them. The marina where the boat docks was filmed in nearby Richmond — not to be confused with Virginia’s state capital, which is only 109 miles from Washington, DC. 

A climactic scene in ‘The Night Agent’ takes place in a container shipping yard.

WTC Group Lindsey Terminal

The shipping container showdown — aka Maddie’s rescue — takes place in the logistics and storage company WTC Group’s Lindsey Terminal.

Camp David

Joe Brown Park, Fairmeade Farm, Riverview, Crease Clinic, Minnekhada Regional Park

Re-creating the famous presidential retreat of Camp David was a massive undertaking for the Night Agent crew, and took place all over the Vancouver metro area. “It was a big, big production, so many moving parts,” Buchanan tells Tudum. Since the sequence unfolds across many locations within Camp David, it required five different Vancouver stand-ins that were rained out on multiple days thanks to British Columbia’s unpredictable weather. Not even the indoor locations were safe, says Basso: “They shot the interiors of the helicopter there, but it was raining and the seats were soaked because there were leaks in the helicopter.”

Joint Base Andrews - Airport

Fort Langley Airport 

The final scene of the season, in which Peter bids Rose goodbye and boards a plane on his mission as an actual night agent, was shot at this small private airport near the Golden Ears mountains.
