The Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex appeared in season 3 when Luther and Sloane had an impromptu wedding at the fictional Hotel Obsidian.

Recently, the cast of The Umbrella Academy participated in a cheeky ‘Q&Eh’ featurette to spill what they love about working in Canada.

“No matter what time of year, depending on whether it’s deep snow or middle of summer, it’s just beautiful,” Tom Hopper said. “There’s so much activity going on.”

They also shared some of their fave restaurants in the Six.

“I like Pai, the Thai restaurant. So good, so, so good,” Justin H. Min shared, adding that Torontonians are “some of the nicest people” he’s ever met.

Showrunner Steve Blackman shared he’s a fan of Little Italy. “What I love about Toronto is just how diverse it is. Block to block, you can find so many different things,” he said.

The movie Work It is also included in “Netflix In Your Neighbourhood.” The 2020 dance-comedy was shot around Etobicoke, Thornhill, Mississauga and Toronto — specifically the Junction, Distillery District, Underpass Park and Celebration Square.

Humber College stands in for Woodbright High School, attended by Sabrina Carpenter and Liza Koshy’s characters. The duo’s dance competition took place in at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, while Jake and Quinn had a serious convo at The Water Guardians.

The streamer has previously highlighted locations across British Columbia and Alberta for other shows like Maid starring Margaret Qualley.
