A flat in The Point becomes the main character’s home, the nearby M Shed doubles as a nightclub, while bespoke sets were built in The Bottle Yard Studios in Hengrove which also hosted green screen filming.
Bristol Film Office’s Natalie Moore said: “It was fantastic to support Urban Myth Films for the filming of Crazyhead in the summer.
“Bristol has been home to a number of iconic fantasy-based shows over the years, such as Being Human and Doctor Who.
“This exciting new production, billed as a British Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will speak to young audiences, showcasing our modern and urban locations around the world when the series streams on Netflix after the UK premiere.”
