CBS’s “Tracker” joins a long list of productions that have made Vancouver their cinematic playground. Notable shows like James Gunn’s “Peacemaker,” as well as “Supernatural,” “Riverdale,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” and “The Last of Us,” have all tapped into the city’s scenic charm. While “Tracker” frequently leverages Vancouver’s urban landscape, it rarely repeats locations, keeping its settings fresh and varied. Curious about the exact filming spots? Here’s a closer look at where “Tracker” brings its episodes to life.

The “Tracker” team has filmed in a myriad of British Columbia locales. The premiere episode, titled “Klamath Falls,” opens with scenes supposedly set in Black Rock Desert, Nevada, but these were actually captured in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, nestled between Cache Creek and Walhachin. The episode’s depiction of Klamath Falls City Hall and Police Department was filmed at the Inlet Theatre in Port Moody, within the Metro Vancouver area. Additionally, the Wyoming Science University from the episode “Beyond the Campus Walls” is portrayed by Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, another Metro Vancouver city.

“Tracker” makes the most of British Columbia’s stunning landscapes, featuring the scenic drive from Vancouver to Whistler and capturing breathtaking views of Howe Sound. Filming has also occurred at the Capilano Dam and Juniper Beach Provincial Park. As for interior shots, they are predominantly filmed at Vancouver Film Studios, a hub for numerous Hollywood productions including “Deadpool,” “Fifty Shades of Grey,” and “Elf.”

Whether depicting a hotel room, a strip club, or an office building, chances are the scene is crafted on a soundstage at Vancouver Film Studios. However, not all interior shots are studio-based; the crew sometimes opts for real locations. For example, in Season 3, scenes were filmed at the Sun Bowl Arena in South Okanagan, British Columbia, during August 2025. Residents were alerted by local authorities about potential noise from the filming activities. This ice hockey arena also serves as a venue for amateur sports and is home to the Osoyoos Coyotes.

“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.
