“The Abandons” (the 2025 Netflix Western series) was filmed primarily in and around Calgary in southern Alberta, Canada, with additional shooting across other parts of southern Alberta and some limited on‑location work in Oregon, USA.

Main filming location

• Most of the series was shot in Calgary and the surrounding plains of southern Alberta, whose open landscapes and existing Western backlots were used to recreate an 1850s frontier town.

• Key Alberta areas referenced for production include sites west of Calgary, such as ranch and backlot properties often used for Westerns.

Additional locations

• Production also made use of other southern Alberta regions, including spots in and around Kananaskis Country and nearby rural communities to capture mountains, forests, and varied terrain.

• Because the story is set in Washington Territory and involves Oregon, a small portion of filming took place on location in Oregon to add authentic Pacific Northwest landscapes.
