Canada has been a significant filming hub for Netflix in recent years, and several of the movies and shows shot in this country are among the most popular on the streaming site.
According to a report from Netflix titled "What We Watched: A Netflix Engagement Report," The Night Agent, Ginny & Georgia Season 1 and Season 2, and Fubar were among the top 10 most-watched titles on from January to June 2023, based on hours viewed.
The Night Agent, starring Gabriel Basso, was filmed in British Columbia and also features a number of Canadians actors, including Sarah Desjardins, Eve Harlow, Christopher Shyer and Greyston Holt.
The moments in the series set in Washington, D.C. and Maryland were actually filmed in Vancouver. Maple Ridge, specifically Golden Ears Provincial Park, is also present in The Night Agent as the location of Rose's (Luciane Buchanan) family cottage.
Additionally, Shelter Island Marina in Richmond is the real setting for a marina in Maryland on the show, and Minnekhada Lodge in Coquitlam is used as part of Camp David in The Night Agent.
Both seasons of Ginny & Georgia are filmed in Ontario, specifically in locations around Toronto and Coburg.
Coburg is used to depict the New England town of Wellsbury in Ginny & Georgia, but Georgia and Ginny Miller's (Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentry) Wellsbury home is located in the west end of Toronto.
Canadian actors in Ginny & Georgia include Jennifer Robertson, Raymond Ablack, Sara Waisglass, Kaitie Douglas and Chelsea Clark.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's series Fubar was also filmed in Ontario, across Toronto, Mississauga and Oakville, as the show moves from the state of New York, to Belgium, Moldova and Kazakhstan.
Canadian actors in Fubar include Barbara Eve Harris, Buckley, Jay Baruchel and Devon Bostick.
