Netflix’s upcoming romantic comedy The Wrong Paris is set to bring a playful twist to reality dating shows. The story follows Dawn (played by Miranda Cosgrove), a young woman from Texas who believes she’s heading to Paris, France, for a reality dating competition—only to discover she’s actually been sent to Paris, Texas. The film blends satire, romance, and small-town charm and will be released on September 12, 2025.
In this guide, we’ll explore where the movie was filmed and the real-life locations that brought this “wrong Paris” to life.
Where Was The Wrong Paris Filmed?
Although the storyline centres on Paris, Texas, most of the filming took place in British Columbia, Canada, using various towns and landmarks to represent the Lone Star State. Shooting occurred between September 9 and October 11, 2024, with select scenes filmed in Paris, Texas itself.
Vancouver, British Columbia
Metro Vancouver served as the base for much of the production, transforming urban and rural spots into small-town Texas backdrops. Vancouver is a major hub for Hollywood productions due to its versatile locations and competitive film tax incentives.
Trivia: Vancouver has hosted countless major projects, including Deadpool, The Good Doctor, and The X-Files.
Copperstone Mansion – Langley Township, British Columbia
The elegant Copperstone Mansion in Langley was used for some of the film’s most visually striking scenes. With its red-brick exterior and grand design, the estate perfectly matched the romantic comedy’s upscale moments.
Trivia: Copperstone Mansion has appeared in Riverdale as the Blossom family’s residence, the 2006 comedy RV starring Robin Williams, Supernatural, and Bates Motel.
Aldergrove (Langley Township) – Kent Farm House
For Dawn’s family home, the filmmakers chose the famous Kent Farm property in Aldergrove. Recognisable to fans of Smallville as Clark Kent’s farmhouse, it offers a classic rural look that fits seamlessly into the Texas setting.
Agassiz, British Columbia – 7215 Pioneer Avenue
On September 17, 2024, filming took place in the small Fraser Valley community of Agassiz. The crew used both the interior and exterior of a property at 7215 Pioneer Avenue, with local notices marking temporary street closures during the shoot.
Trivia: Agassiz has been a backdrop for productions like Virgin River, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
Paris, Texas
Despite filming most of the movie in Canada, a portion of the production took place in Paris, Texas. The town’s quirky Eiffel Tower replica, topped with a red cowboy hat, makes a fun appearance in the film. It is a popular tourist spot and a proud local landmark that is 65 feet tall.
Trivia: The movie Paris, Texas, which won an award in 1984, was also set in Paris.

Behind the Scenes of The Wrong Paris
Behind the funny satire and playful romance is a group of people who are creative, have real chemistry and have a lot of fun. Here’s a peek at what happened behind the cameras during the making of The Wrong Paris.
Miranda Cosgrove (Dawn & Executive Producer)
Cosgrove brought her love for reality TV directly into her performance. She shared:
“I love rom-coms and reality shows. I love The Bachelor and *Love on the Spectrum. … It was fun getting to play a character that isn’t really there for love.” (People.com)
She also reflected on the atmosphere on set:
“Getting to stay at the same hotel in Vancouver and go out to eat and see movies every weekend is something I’ll never forget.”
Cosgrove even learnt new skills like welding and horseback riding—adding real charm and authenticity to the film’s rural Texas feel.
Director Janeen Damian
Damian praised the lead duo’s on-screen connection:
“Miranda and Pierson knew exactly where they were emotionally in the story and delivered such a gorgeous, nuanced gut-punch of a performance. It was truly a joy to work with them.”
That spark between them drove the charm and emotional depth of this rom-com.
Pierson Fodé (Trey)
Fodé resonated with his country-loving character on a personal level:
“Playing Trey felt like playing a version of myself … just with more cameras and fewer early-morning feedings.”
He also discussed their cast bonding time: rom-com movie nights in Vancouver inspired them and even included subtle nods to Matthew McConaughey’s famously romantic roles.
