The shows producers selected Croatia as its filming location, after checking out spots in Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Italy amongst others. Filming will take play from 7-21 January in Dubrovnik’s old town, on the island of Lokrum, and fort Lovrijenac and in other surrounding parts of the popular tourist hot spot. Some scenes for the final season will also reportedly be shot in Istria. Around 800 Dubrovnik locals will take part as extras during the 2 weeks of filming.
