The production took place primarily in and around Prague, Czech Republic, with key locations. Prague, which is known for its beautiful architecture and long history, was the perfect place for both the medieval and modern scenes in the movie.

3. Drevníky, Zduchovice and Výsluní u Chomutova

François Uzan, the director talked about how the movie was made and how choosing to shoot in the Middle Ages brought the adventure to life. He said, “We could have put teens in a house like in Scream or imagined a game of social massacre happening in a Haussmann living room, but we chose to make it an adventure and family movie with humor and, of course, thrills.” The filmmakers made a beautiful movie for fans by using real-life medieval sets and staying true to the spirit of the original Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow game.
