Where was I’ll Never Let You Go Filmed?
‘I’ll Never Let You Go’ was filmed entirely in British Columbia, specifically in Kelowna and, seemingly, in Vancouver as well. Principal photography reportedly began in the first week of May 2025 and continued for almost a month before wrapping up by the 2nd of June the same year. Over the period of filming, the cast and crew formed strong bonds, and some of them even took to social media during and after the production to express their feelings and gratitude.
Kelowna, British Columbia
Kelowna, situated on the Okanagan Lake, became the base for the filming of ‘I’ll Never Let You Go.’ The gorgeous city not only offers modern cityscapes to utilize for the settings but also has numerous studios with modern facilities, sound stages, and equipment for a streamlined production. This provided the crew with many approaches for recording the scenes, whether indoors or outdoors. The Kelowna Film Studios, located at 100-1516 Keehn Road, is a well-known studio and may have been used to tape some sequences.
Kelowna is primarily known for its vineyards and wineries, some of the most popular among them being CedarCreek Estate Winery, Priest Creek Family Estate Winery, Summerhill Pyramid Winery, Ex Nihilo Vineyards, 50th Parallel Estate Winery, and Gray Monk Estate Winery. If you are a non-alcoholic person, the city offers numerous parks and trails, like the Stuart Park, Lochview Trail, Knox Mountain Park, and City Park. The Lifetime movies ‘Girl Taken’ and ‘The 13th Wife’ were also shot in Kelowna.
Vancouver, British Columbia
Some scenes of the movie, including establishing shots, were seemingly taped in Vancouver, a global city in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. Known as the Hollywood of the North, the city has served as the base for numerous Lifetime projects, including ‘Fame: A Temptations Story,’ ‘I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story,’ ‘Little Girl in the Woods,’ and ‘The Bad Seed.’ Many international shows and movies have also set up shop in the city, thereby earning it the above-mentioned title. This is purely due to the amenities for film and TV production, which are more easily accessible than in Kelowna. As far as the natural landscape is concerned, what makes Vancouver different from Kelowna is that while the former has the North Shore Mountains as the backdrop, the latter is based inside the Okanagan Valley. If you are in Vancouver for a trip or are planning one, the must-visit spots include Canada Place, Lions Gate Bridge, Stanley Park, Science World, and Gastown.
