A popular Netflix show starring Katherine Heigl is filming in downtown Vancouver and the film crew transformed an area to look like New York City.

In early October, locals shared images of American actress Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up, The Ugly Truth) and Canadian actress Sarah Chalke (Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother) filming the show outside of the Vancouver Club. 

Firefly Lane is about two best friends who are always there for each other with an "unbreakable bond that carries them from their teens to their 40s," according to Netflix. 

Filming for the show's second season took place outside of the Metropolitan Hotel in downtown Vancouver on Oct. 27 and Oct. 28. A Vancouverite shared some images of picture cars that look like New York City taxi cabs as well as some bus stops on the film set. 

Curious where some of your favourite small-screen moments on Netflix were filmed in the city? A new website shows what locations were used in popular shows and movies; it gives a brief description of what happened in the scenes that were filmed in each location, too.
