If you have an Amazon Prime membership then you’ve likely heard of The Boys, which is currently one of the top TV shows airing on Prime Video.

The show — focused on a group of corrupt superheroes and a team of vigilantes (The Boys) trying to take them down — was quickly met with success when it premiered last summer, and is currently partway through its second season.

While the show is set in the United States, what you may not know is that it was partially filmed in numerous places in the GTA, including Mississauga, Toronto, and Hamilton!

Here’s a quick rundown of which scenes were filmed where, according to Atlas of Wonders:


In season 1, episode 1, the opening scene with Homelander was shot at Catherine St in Hamilton. Another scene in Hamilton is filmed at Fifty Point Conservation Area.

In season 1, episode 3, the race between the lightning-quick superheroes A-Train and Shockwave is shot at Hamilton’s Tim Hortons Field stadium.
