The influx of projects underscores Utah’s growing appeal as a filming location, offering both scenic landscapes and modern infrastructure. Lex Pascual,Vice President of Production Incentives at Warner Bros. Discovery, highlighted Utah’s unique qualities, stating, “Utah offers an extraordinary and diverse curtain of natural background that is perfect for this romantic series.” The productions are expected to bring activity to Salt Lake, Summit, utah, Washington, Wayne, and Weber counties.
“The Bachelorette” isn’t the only high-profile project heading to Utah.Local filmmaker Gary Auerbach’s documentary, “Monsters & aliens,” will film in Summit and Salt Lake counties before the end of the year.
