The Glass Dome (original title: Glaskupan) is an upcoming Netflix crime-drama series directed by Henrik Björn and Lisa Farzaneh.
The screenplay is written by Camilla Läckberg and follows a criminologist and her former police chief partner as they investigate the case of a missing girl in a small Swedish town—the same place where the criminologist was once held captive.
The series is set to premiere on April 15, 2025, on Netflix.
Where Was The Glass Dome Filmed?
Netflix’s The Glass Dome was primarily filmed in Sweden, with additional scenes shot in the United States. The production showcases a mix of Sweden’s natural landscapes and historical cityscapes, along with a notable American location.
Sweden
Sweden serves as the main filming location for The Glass Dome. The country’s forests, lakes, and historic cities provide an atmospheric setting for the mystery-driven series.
Filming took place in various locations across Sweden, including Älvdalen, Gamla Stan, and Stockholm Studio.
Älvdalen, Sweden
The production team filmed several scenes in Älvdalen, a small town in the Dalarna region of Sweden. Known for its deep forests, rivers, and secluded landscapes, Älvdalen adds a mysterious and isolated feel to the series. The town is historically significant for its unique Elfdalian language, which retains elements of Old Norse.
Gamla Stan, Stockholm County, Sweden
Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, was another major filming site. This medieval district, with its cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and historic landmarks, creates an ideal backdrop for urban scenes in The Glass Dome. The area is home to famous landmarks like the Royal Palace and Stockholm Cathedral.
Geisel Library, UC San Diego, USA
A surprising international filming location in The Glass Dome is the Geisel Library at the University of California, San Diego.
The futuristic Brutalist design of the library is featured in the series, possibly in scenes involving academic or investigative settings.
The Geisel Library is named after Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and houses a vast collection of rare books and archives.
Stockholm Studio, Sweden
Several indoor scenes were filmed at Stockholm Studio, where the production team recreated various settings in a controlled environment. A behind-the-scenes post shared by series writer Camilla Läckberg revealed that the team used the studio’s props to film scenes involving the glass dome central to the story.
