What are the 'Outer Range' Filming Locations?

Outer Range is set in a small town in Wyoming and follows Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin) on a quest to save his ranch. However, Royal and his family are also dealing with the loss of their daughter-in-law, Rebecca, which only expedites when mysterious newcomer Autumn (Imogen Poots) arrives in town.

Autumn's arrival ushers in a shocking death in the community and fans are left to wonder about the mysterious chain of events that unfolds—and how they connect to the mysterious void in one of Royal Abbott's pastures.

Reportedly, production was supposed to begin in Calgary, Canada, in March 2020, before the coronavirus pandemic shut down production. When production resumed in January 2021, filming moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Albuquerque Journal spoke to the New Mexico Film Office director Amber Dodson about the project.

Amber said, "‘Outer Range’ is a major production employing thousands of New Mexicans over several months. We are so excited about this television series that will feature so many of New Mexico’s diverse landscapes and are grateful Amazon Studios has chosen New Mexico." Filming took place around the city and inside a sound studio known as I-25 Studios. The production also took place in the cities of Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Santa Fe.
