The show’s muddy, claustrophobic vibe isn’t CGI. It’s Yorkshire, my friends, wearing its wet wool coat and looking you dead in the eye. The production didn’t fly to some exotic, rainy forest; they just drove up the M62 and found hell with a Sainsbury’s Local.
The primary filming location is the town of Huddersfield and the surrounding Calderdale Valley. You know that feeling when you’re driving home and the sky just… drops? That’s the mood. They used the actual streets, the flood barriers, and the slightly damp-looking pubs to make the apocalypse feel as close as your local chip shop.
If you’ve ever sat in traffic on the A62 during a drizzle, you’ve basically been an extra in this show.
