A production has been underway in Mission for the past few days at a secretive set where a crane is visible from a distance. The City of Mission couldn鈥檛 share details about the production.

The Last of Us notched 24 nominations at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey were nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress respectively.

Season one of the show was filmed in various locations around Alberta, but HBO announced in April that its second season would feature Vancouver-area sites.

City of Mission communications manager Taryn Hubbard says more productions have chosen the area in the past year, with an uptick after labour disputes were resolved in the industry.

鈥淚t鈥檚 just wonderful to see all the productions come to Mission and to see our town on the screen, no matter if it鈥檚 big or small,鈥� Hubbard said.

The film industry鈥檚 impact on Mission extends past fees the city can collect.

鈥淚f productions are here, they are buying gas, they鈥檙e eating in restaurants, they are staying in hotels 鈥� so there鈥檚 an economic benefit to that as well,鈥� Hubbard said.

鈥淏ut one thing about filming in Mission that is so big with people is the community pride that comes with it. If you鈥檙e watching a film or a television show and you see our home community on screen, there鈥檚 something quite special about that.鈥�
