Here are 8 movies and shows filming in Mississauga this year

Summer is here and many film productions choose to take advantage of the warm weather in Mississauga.

There were 67 productions in 2022 including film, television, commercial and student filming in Mississauga. Fellow Travelers, Cabinet of Curiosities and The Boys all had filming dates in Mississauga last year.

This year is shaping up to be a busy one for the film and television industry, according to the City of Mississauga.

To date, the city has approved permits for 30 productions including a variety of commercials, TV series, web series, feature films and mini-series, a City of Mississauga spokesperson tells insauga.com. 

It is difficult to say what and how many productions will film in the summer as permits frequently come in very close to the start of production, the spokesperson says.

“For that reason, providing a two to three-month look ahead can be challenging.”

Here are eight productions that filmed in Mississauga in 2023 so far (some are continuing to film in the summer):
