Filmed across London: The filming locations of The Runner

The Runner

One hour. One phone call. One city to sprint across. The Runner was shot entirely on location in London – not a studio, not a backlot, not a carefully chosen stand-in city. The real thing, across the spring and early summer of 2025, from April 22 to early July. It premieres eight months later. 

The Runner – Amazon Prime Video's real-time action thriller starring Gal Gadot and Damian Lewis, directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, The Mauritanian) .

A high-powered attorney receives a call from a mysterious anonymous caller telling her that her son has been abducted. She has one hour. She must follow cryptic instructions. And she must keep running.

From Regent's Canal in Camden the production moved east along St Pancras Way, filming sequences on the canal-side road that connects Camden to King's Cross, before eventually reaching Canary Wharf, where Gadot was filmed on location on May 9.

Gadot's Maia Marten is running over the Millennium Bridge, the pedestrian suspension crossing that spans the Thames between the Tate Modern and St Paul's Cathedral.

Further east in the City, Coleman Street and King's Arms Yard – a narrow lane running into a tucked-away courtyard in the heart of the Square Mile, two minutes from the Bank of England – provided thefilming locations for a confrontation with the police.

Watling Street, one of the City's oldest streets, running from Cannon Street toward St Paul's along the line of the Roman road that gave it its name, was also used as a filming location.

The Runner arrives on Prime Video on September 2, 2026

Where was Below filmed? St. John's, Pouch Cove, Brigus South and the Icy waters of Newfoundland

The production of Netflix's new six-part suspense thriller series Below made one fundamental decision from the start: no green screens, no soundstages. Filming took place entirely on location in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, between July and October 2025, in small coastal communities on the Avalon Peninsula that locals had never seen transformed into a film set before.

Here's where Sacrifice was filmed: from Santorini's active volcano to the Prohodna Cave in Bulgaria

Every morning, the cast and crew climbed a volcano. The hike took almost an hour. Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy at the top, looking out across the Aegean, waiting for Romain Gavras to call action. "You're just looking around at the majesty of the world," Evans told Variety. "It's easy to completely lose yourself, as you would if there weren't a film crew capturing your every move."
