Netflix’s upcoming thriller Trinity, from Bodyguard creator Jed Mercurio, has officially begun production in Vancouver. This eight-episode drama follows the gripping journey of a brave naval officer whose entanglement with the Secretary of Defense exposes a dangerous web of conspiracy.
What Is Trinity About?
Set in the high-stakes world of military and political power, Trinity centers on Commander Katherine Decker, the second-in-command aboard a nuclear submarine. As she becomes entangled with Secretary of Defense Webb Preston, she begins to uncover secrets that could shake the foundations of government and global security.
When and Where Is Trinity Filming?
Filming began on July 7, 2025, at North Shore Studios in Vancouver. The production is set to continue for four months, wrapping up on November 5, 2025.
Key filming locations across Vancouver have already made headlines:
-
Vancouver Art Gallery: The iconic building was transformed for Trinity’s shoot, with dramatic blue drapes and the phrase “Placed upon the horizon (Casting Shadows)” displayed on the south façade. Scenes were filmed at 800 Robson Plaza, where a Washington, D.C., police vehicle and multiple crew trucks were spotted.
-
Crescent Beach in Surrey: This scenic beach is another filming site for the series, as confirmed by Daily Hive.
-
Fairmont Hotel Vancouver: According to YVRShoots, scenes were filmed here on July 22 and 23, adding a touch of luxury and drama to the storyline.
- In a possible transformation, Trinity is also rumored to have used one of the Riverview Hospital buildings in Coquitlam as a stand-in for the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, according to HollywoodBuzz.
Despite the busy shooting schedule, businesses near filming locations remained open as usual.
A behind-the-scenes moment featuring Richard Madden was recently shared by fan account @rich_ardmaddenfanitalia20 on Instagram, showing him in character as Secretary Webb Preston. The caption reads, “Same style in different era. Richard doing (same) things. #Trinity #WebbPreston #bts.”
