Reacher TV Series Filming Locations: Margrave, Georgia is in Fact Toronto, Ontario, Canada!
The principal photography of Reacher was carried out in Ontario, Canada, far from Georgia where it is actually set.
The protagonist Jack Reacher reaches Margrave, the fictional rural Georgia town, and walks into a diner, which was shot in a diner called The Lakeview Restaurant located at 1132 Dundas Street West in Toronto.
Some portion of filming was also done in Maple Leaf Motel which is located at 4540 Kingston Road in Scarborough.
The filming crew of the series was also spotted shooting for the show in Yonge Street and Adelaide Street. They shot in an alley Ching Lane.
Jack is arrested from the diner and he is locked up in a local Warburton prison, which was filmed in a former maximum-security prison Kingston Penitentiary situated at 560 King Street West in Kingston. The former prison is now a museum about the history of the prison.
One other location where an extensive amount of filming was done, is Port Perry. More specifically, the shooting crew shot in the Piano Inn and Cafe located at 217 Queen Street in downtown Port Perry, which was transformed into JJ’s Ale House.
The cafe was used as a backdrop for several crucial scenes as it reflected the rurality of the town that the creators of the show were going for.
The series also features some places of the city of Cambridge which is in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo in Southern Ontario.
A one-day shoot was held to film for some sequences in Blackbridge Road in Hespeler. Since they did the shooting at nighttime, they enlisted help from the Waterloo Regional Police Service to ensure the safety of the public. Some scenes were shot in Pickering, a prosperous town located just east of Toronto in Southern Ontario.
The filming for Reacher began on April 15, 2021, and was wrapped up on July 31, 2021, after three and a half months.
