Back to the Frontier was filmed primarily in rural western Canada, about an hour outside Calgary, Alberta. The prairie landscapes, wide open spaces, and grassy fields provided the authentic frontier backdrop used for the series, with filming occurring during a single location window in the summer of 2024.
Details:
- Location: Rural Alberta, Canada, surrounding areas near Calgary (commonly described as prairie lands).
- Setting: Wide, open grasslands suitable for era-accurate homesteading scenes; production took place on location rather than on studio backlots.
- Timeframe: Filmed in the summer of 2024 over a multi-week period, with a sizable crew and multiple families participating.
- Scope: Scenes captured across outdoor landscapes, with attention to authentic frontier visuals, including building, planting, and homesteading activities.
