Wondering where they shot the chilling snowy scenes from “The Eternaut” that now captivate Netflix viewers?

With entire city districts turned into desolate, snow-covered landscapes and famous landmarks creatively altered through visual effects, fans can’t help but wonder about the real-life places that served as filming locations.

Here’s a breakdown of every filming site used to bring The Eternaut to life.

Here are the filming locations where The Eternaut was filmed

The entire Netflix science fiction show “The Eternaut” was shot in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Real urban settings were blended with cutting-edge virtual filmmaking methods for its production.

Confirmed Filming Locations:

  • Avenida General Paz freeway
  • Saavedra neighborhood
  • Puente Saavedra
  • River Plate Stadium
  • Torre Dorrego
  • The Glorieta, Barrancas de Belgrano
  • Campo de Mayo military base
  • Statue of Liberty replica

Back in May 2023, I was thrilled to be part of a production team embarking on our principal photography journey. We filmed at an astounding 35 actual locations worldwide and constructed no less than 25 virtual sets! As per Tudum by Netflix, our crew employed enormous digital screens to convincingly mimic snowfall and instantaneously adapt the environmental conditions in real-time.

According to Ignacio Pol and Pablo Accame, visual effects specialists, the methods they employed significantly enhanced the actors’ immersion into authentic filming locations. They emphasized that the virtual production technique, combined with the use of screens to provide a real-time view of the action, greatly facilitated lighting on set and played a key role in this process.

At Cacodelphia Studios, they managed the virtual production for both indoor and selected outdoor sequences. For scenes requiring real snow, these effects were added during post-production – a process that spanned over a year. On location, they employed cellulose-based artificial snow to enhance the actors’ performance.

The film crew chose Avenida General Paz as the backdrop for depicting apocalyptic solitude. They shot scenes at places such as Campo de Mayo and Torre Dorrego to highlight historical and architectural aspects. Shooting in public and well-known spots necessitated intricate logistical arrangements, resulting in temporary shutdowns of streets and neighborhoods.
