We've all read that when Melissa McBride learned that the upcoming Carol and Daryl spinoff series was to be set in Europe, she bowed out. This was/is crushing news. However, I just read an article in which both she and Norman Reedus stated that this is not the end for Carol, further developments down the road may enable her to return.
But here's my real question. It has always been true in film and television, long before the modern technology of CGI and special effects existed, let alone generative AI, that TV shows and movies are filmed in locations that are convenient and affordable, and made to seem as if the setting and events are taking place in some foreign setting. So now, with all the technology at their disposal, why is it necessary for this TWD spinoff to actually be filmed in Europe, instead of somewhere in the USA which is then made to look like whatever part of Europe? This question is doubly urgent considering the decision to film in Europe cost us Carol, for now at any rate.
As I say, please no spoilers.
