Rumours on filming Season 2 in Croatia have been around for a very long time. Heck, I might have been the first to inadvertently call it, as an April’s Fool joke on Twitter (mostly to tease our tireless The Rabbit). Then all of a sudden the production team indeed started scouting the sites, and later George started mentioning Croatia and its cities in a non-committal manner. Later still, the local legislature was adapted to favour foreign productions filming in the country.
Now there are rumours stating that the contract for filming in Croatia (and Dubrovnik specifically) is a done deal, or near enough as makes no matter. These rumours seem to stem from George R. R. Martin’s editor in Croatia.
Plus we can bring you some more substantial rumours from an inside source, with quite a bit of detail. All of it, obviously, unofficial and unconfirmed, but at least to me the info sounds legitimate. Here is what we have:
- Filming will take place in Dubrovnik (other locations have not been mentioned, nor excluded), but no specific locations are known to us as of yet.
- Preparations are set to begin on August 28th.
- Filming is to start on September 19th and will last about four weeks.
- A Croatian production company is to coordinate the filming, with the majority of the crew from Dubrovnik.
Hear Me Roar: The question remains of course what they might be filming there? Scenes at Storm’s End, Dragonstone, Qarth or King’s Landing are all possibilities. What do you think, dear readers?

I think Quarth! Or rather somewhere east.

hmmm… i think dubrovnik (or better venice, of course) would do perfect for braavos, but it’s too early for braavos to appear in season 2. so it’s probably qarth, but i have imagined qarth somewhat more oriental than dubrovnik and dubrovnik and all former venetian cities have more free cities kind of feel.

but I think is suits Storm’s End better.
Thiago SlashQuote Reply
First, what Dubrovnik won’t be used for……
Storms End – is a Castle on a cliff (not a city), and the scenes are all exteriors from Renly’s siege camp or the ocean.
Dragonstone – A Monstrous Fantastical Castle at the base of a Volcano (Interiors mostly and CGI), there is a small port at Dragonstone, but not enough scenes warrant a month long shoot.
That leaves……
Quarth – Where Dany spends most of Season 2, this does warrant a month long shoot.
or K.L. (I really hope not, as I loved the uniqueness of Malta as the setting for K.L., and most viewers would notice the difference in architecture). So hopefully HBO and Malta wise up (if there was meat to the rumors) and continue filming K.L. scenes there.
tysnowQuote Reply
Just looking at the picture I think definitely Storm End is in. With Alfie Allen and Peter Dinklage in N. Ireland (Pyke and Blackwater Bay), 4 weeks of filming probably meant Qarth arrival in the city and departure from harbor with Belwas and Whitebread
Since they filmed the Seven scene in N. Ireland, logistic would seem to rule out Dragonstone.

Blackwater Rush! You’ll need to line up enough boats so that one could jump from one boat to another. I really don’t know but, a month in a harbor?

Dubrovnik is only known for one thing, as far as I know, and that’s its impressive sea wall. That sounds like Storm’s End to me.
stileQuote Reply
tysnow,
I think the castle in Dubrovnik really fits the one in Storm’s End. All they need is some exterior shot with Davos’ smuggling scene. Renly and Stannis met in open field, so it is better suited for N. Ireland.
It could also be used for KL in the scenes of Dorne send away party, the subsequent mob scene and the city watch scenes in the final battle I’m not sure whether they will send that many main characters to Croatia and how those scenes will be filmed in season 2 given the often reduced scope in season one. Four weeks seems quite tight if they filmed all that in Croatia.
SugarVampireQuote Reply
Well if Tysnow’s right, and it is Qarth… one way to find out is to check the local Dubrovnik papers and sites to see if any companies are looking for multiple female extras willing to bear one breast (all in the name of Qartheen fashion).
Unless they’re going a different direction of course and toning down the nudit—oh, what am I saying?
Fire And BloodQuote Reply
Is there still no confirmation on returning to Malta? If not, I’d agree that it could definitely be used for the KL dock/mob scene, some Blackwater scenes, and/or Quarth scenes.
the goatQuote Reply
I bet you’re wrong. I bet it’s going to be Storm’s End.
Two points:
1 – They aren’t shy about making small changes to the books. So what if it’s slightly different than what’s described.
2 – CGI can be used to alter the look of what you see on screen.
EdQuote Reply
Ed,
Well, if there is a really great sea wall and castle, maybe they’ll shoot Storm’s End in addition to other scenes, but they aren’t going all that way for an entire month just for 3 or 4 scenes. Especially since all of the long castle shots from Season 1 were CG.

morbiczerQuote Reply
Where there is a smoke there is a fire and rumors keep reappearing. If Croatia is a filming site logic dictates Malta isn’t as producers have said they will do the filming in three different countries. I guess production team messed up in Malta with damage done to the national park (those Dothraki weddings can surely get out of hand ;) ).
Croatia has enough similar architecture to Malta so it doesn’t have to be a big deal. As for Braavos comment, check out the episode of Doctor Who “Vampires of Venice” which was filmed in Trogir – if they can make Trogir work as a Venice I don’t see why it can’t be Braavos.
Ivan PopićQuote Reply
The impressive sea wall would work for either Storms End or the King’s Langing battle. As others have mentioned, the effects are normally to extend sets, so the top of the wall and all above it will be digital mattes.
HonestJerkQuote Reply
I don’t think they will use Dubrovnik city walls for filming of a Blackwater. City walls extend all the way to the sea and there is a bit of land between Mud Gate and the river.
Ivan PopićQuote Reply
I say: KL and Quarth.
It is pretty obvious now that Malta is out.
They need a replacement for KL exteriors. (scenes as KL riot, and Blackwater battle whereabouts do need some exterior filming) so, I guess it would be Dubrovnik.
p.s. I am glad I am not the only who imagines Braavos as Venice.
The RabbitQuote Reply
Wait does this mean they’re not going to use Malta? I want them to come back to Malta to shoot King’s Landing scenes here! All the architecture in the show was naturally Malta’s and no CGI was needed, changing venues would create extra expenses which are not really that needed. . . Also, i thought they might to Qarth here. . . it would have been awesome. HBO should decide to come back here, the Maltese are over the Dwejra incident, HBO should just be more careful with Malta’s heritage next time. . .

I say KL. Not a snowball’s chance in hell it’s Storm’s End.
Simple. All SE shots are external, and from great distance.
Parlay outside walls.
They will do that with CGI, like the Twins. Just let Stannis and Renly and the gang have their parlay on some Northern Ireland field close to the coast, and add the castle in the background.
Much cheaper and faster.
And the boat ride.
Doesn’t even need to show the castle.

This is definitely happening! I’m from Croatia and only a few days ago I was told that a friend of someone I know was offered to work on the sets for GOT in Dubrovnik within the next few months. Unfortunately, it seems that this persons refused, only to find out after what she was saying no to. I think she’s now trying to get the job anyway :)
As for what they might film there… I spent 4 days in Dubrovnik a few weeks ago and paid special attention to potential filming locations. I think, like some of you above, that they could do KL interiors/exteriors there, to replace Malta, without any problem, Qarth and Storm’s End. Not so sure about Dragonstone. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be 99% CGI anyway. They might use a piece of rocky shore to build a CGI Dragonstone on top.
As for KL exteriors – in s1 we only saw a street or two, one single city gate (if I’m not mistaken), and the square outside Baelor’s sept. KL’s supposed to be this big city so I don’t see any problems with them using a different town for shooting exterior scenes for KL. Qarth is definitely a possibility as well. Who knows what kind of feel they are going to aim for with it, so I think anything is possible.
I thought Lovrijenac had great potential for Storm’s End. I could see Davos and Mel on the little boat approaching it. There is even a little door at the very bottom of the fortress, looking like a secret entrance. I took a picture of it but have no way of uploading it now cause I’m still on holiday.
And lastly… a few friends of mine and I are thinking about going there during the filming in hope that we’ll get a glimpse of the shooting, possibly stalk some of the crew or cast(!) hehhee… Do you think it’s worth it?

I think that GRRM intended for us to think of Venice when he described Braavos. Everyone thinks Venice when they think of Canals, and it’s so dark and gloomy there at night. Yeah, your definitely not alone with that thought.
Oh and i think Dubrovnik will be used for KL scenes. I have a feeling that Malta is definitely off the film rota :-D
You-know-nothingQuote Reply
StarkyZG,
No worries, just google Lovrenijac and you get like a 1000 pics of it. I agree it looks great for both the Red Keep and Storm’s End, but the reason I think it won’t be used for SE, is the siege by Renly and the parlay. I think it states (or implies) that there is some kind of field before the castle on the north, where the army (and horses) can attack from. Can’t see that happening at Lovrenijac. Too hard to film. Besides, they already have a whole bunch of horses and extras i NI to use for those shots.
I stand by what I claimed earlier and say they will use CGI for SE (possibly enhanced pics of Lovrenijac, who knows? But the castle is so close to the town, it’s a perfect fit for the Red Keep and KL.
SidQuote Reply
Sid,
I agree, but, first of all – CGI can fix a lot of what you said. They can make it look like there indeed is a field before the castle. They can blend the actual shot with CGI, as they did for many scenes in S1. Whatever exterior shots they shoot in Dubrovnik, they’re gonna have a lot of CGI deleting (and adding) to do.
Second, they can make some shots of, say, SE, in Dubrovnik, and others somewhere else. I’m not saying that all of SE scenes will be shot there, but at least some. Anyway… hopefully we’ll find out soon enough! :)
Yes, Google gives great shots of Lovrijenac, but I was referring to a picture I took of the little door that you can reach from a boat. Perfect for Davos and Mel ;)
StarkyZGQuote Reply
StarkyZG,
I agree with you there. They probably will do some combination with shots of a field i NI with CGI SE in the background, cut to an overview look of Lovrenijac with CGI field and additions to correspond to the earlier shot, so you see SE from both land and sea. And the cliffs beneath looks awesome for the boat ride, but that shot will be in the dark, so they will show us those cliffs in that overview shot, and then cut to a night shot in NI of some nameless cliffs and cave, and it will look like everything is in the same place. TV Magic! I really like it that they are going to Croatia with the filming. Your coast is what I imagine the Stormlands to be. So I guess they will be back for filming book 5…

Dubrovnik fits my mental image of KL more than Malta. Malta gave me more that Free Cities Vibe. I just wonder if one month is enough, considering that the majority of the plot takes place in KL. I think we will see a lot more of Crotia in the coming seasons, since it’s much more diverse than Malta and the new tax laws make it even more interesting. I can see them ultimately adding 1 more country for the desert shots like Morokko, Tunesia or Egypt, but otherwise you can film everything else in NI, Cro and IL…

Now that’s plausible and would warrant a month long shoot…..
Streets of Dubrovnik for Quarth
Inner Harbor for Dragonstone Harbor
Walls for Storms End exteriors

I have heard of make-up people, costume designer people and photographers that have been hired for something that will start in September. My guess is that filming will start late September or October. No official news anywhere yet.

I am pretty sure, that the info about the start date of filming is legit, I brought it in here, and I can say that my source seemed legit one.
I am not so surprise about the lack of official word of it.
It seems it is the way HBO functiones.
The pilot and the first season were exception because GRRM announced the locations.
They did not even confirmed Iceland, and it is also pretty clear that they are going to film there.
So, my dear compatriots let s organize a spy-network and bring all the bits of news on this very site…because Winter is coming to Croatia!
The RabbitQuote Reply
StarkyZG,
As far as Malta KL exteriors, I think the Ned/Jaime fight outside Petyr’s brothel and the Gendry/Tobho Mott forge exteriors were also shot there, as well as Cat’s arrival/goodbye (although those might’ve been NI). Also Arya’s pigeon killing alley scene. Hopefully D&D&whomever will confirm in the DVD commentaries, but who knows.
Regardless, I think Dubrovnik would be a fine replacement for Malta as KL, as well as Quarth exteriors. The dressings from the Set Designers will no doubt be top notch, and I’m confident the production team will choose locations such that it will seem like two different continents.
And, of course, they could always shoot some Storm’s End there, if they find a suitable location.
What even huge fans like us tend to forget is that no matter how many visitors WiC or westeros.org get (and gods know we love you guys for all your hard work!), 85-90% of the viewing public will never know, nor care, where the show was shot. I’d venture to say that over 50% of the people that watch the show assume it was all shot in Hollywood.
Who cares!! We will always have our chair-gates, and I’m sure we’ll have our Dubrovnik-gates (“Quarth looks just like KL!” & “Why is Shae’s manse just up the street from Xaro’s Palace!?”), but I’m pretty sure I’ll be waiting in line for hours on end to once again scream my hallelujahs at next year’s Comic-Con panel. But next year I’m gettin my question in!!
P.S. Please bring Maisie, Sophie, Isaac & Art (the one true king of Westeros!) next year. Comic-Con is for the children! Won’t someone please think of the children!

The Rabbit,
Rabbit, don’t bother with forums, just phone whoever is directly responsible for the upkeep and repair and of the harbour area (harbour commissioners?). Failing that, try the equivalent of the local council representatives for the harbour, or for the arts. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and hassle because sooner or later someone will let something slip in the phonecall. If I spoke the language I’d have done it myself several weeks back, masquerading as a reporter or arts student writing an article on foreign investment.
If you don’t fancy a bit phonework then try reading minutes of council meetings. It will have been discussed and voted on at some point, and those minutes should be a matter of public record. Phone the right government department and bob’s your uncle.
As for everyone else banging on about Malta… face it, there’s nothing in Malta that can’t be reproduced elsewhere. Also, not to labour the point but what happened on that beach wasn’t the fault of HBO, it was the fault of the contractors hired by Fire and Blood and it’s almost certainly not the reason why they’re going elsewhere.

I’ve been to Dubrovnik and it should be an incredibly versatile shooting location.
You could shot incredible harbor scenes for KL, Blackwater, Storms End out on the water.
BUT…. Inside the walls, you have an incredible city that could be virtually anywhere, King’s Landing for the riot, even landlocked Harrenhal.
I just hope we get a really good, dramatic, scene with Davos and Mel approaching Storm’s End …AT NIGHT, wherever it ‘s shot! Please, no more ruining these dramatic scenes by shooting them in bright daylight. (Brothers’ oath, Old Nan, Mirri maz Duur, Ned v. Jaime)
Hey, maybe I’ve discovered Daygate! Daylightgate?
ChrisQuote Reply
The Rabbit,
Were they totally ignored? Wow.
As for the harbour, my logic is this -
There’s nothing in NI or Iceland to rival Malta’s harbour. However, Dubrovnik’s harbour knocks Malta’s into a cocked hat. Malta was used for KL, and as neither NI nor Iceland look like KL…. we can be reasonably assured that the harbour or somewhere around there is going to have to double for KL’s harbour.
Plus, a harbour commissioner is easier to get information out of than their political overlords. You just phone up, ask if there’s any issues with sailing/whatever in the next month because you’ve heard the harbour is being closed off for filming.
For added weight, get several different people under different names to phone up in increasing numbers over the course of several days and say “there’s a rumour going around that…” and sooner or later they’ll say something to get everyone to stop asking.
Frankly I’m surprised that noone has said anything at any level. When I was harassing Castle Ward for the TitanCon tour they wouldn’t say anything but it was very obvious that they were going out of their way not to say anything.
Sometimes the absence of something is proof of it’s existence, haha.

EdQuote Reply
I think we’ve all said this already: the best part about filming in Croatia and Dubrovnik in particular is that it can be used for a multitude of sets.
Storm’s End could be the fortress (called Minčeta Tower, says Wikipedia). Storm’s End doesn’t have a city attached to it, if memory serves me correctly, but I see no reason why the show would have to adhere to this detail. And if they want to stay super loyal to the book description, I’m sure they could also use the castle and omit the city through camera angles or CGI.
I could see Qarth here as well. I imagine Qarth to be more Eastern than Dubrovnik, but there are definitely elements in the city that would work really well for Qarth. This fountain, the Assumption Cathedral, and architectural elements like these arcades suggest Qarth to me.
The city’s architecture and Mediterranean culture would also blend with what Malta has provided for King’s Landing. And with the harbor and fishing industry, I’m sure they could get great stuff for Dragonstone and maybe even the Iron Islands.
I think this would also provide a wealth of options for the Free Cities in coming seasons.
All the Croatians here must be so excited. :) I used to live in Italy and always wanted to take the ferry across the Adriatic to Dubrovnik, but never got around to it. :( Now I’ll have even more of a reason to want to visit!

Malta-gate was basically whiny-tittybabies (as my aunt would say) whining about how Malta didn’t look the way they had pictured King’s Landing in their tiny heads. Which makes about as much sense as 96.248759% of the “gates.” (Wig-gate was legitimate.)
I was going to ask about the shot of “Brandon” being strangled by a cord around his neck, presumably while trying to save his father from being cooked alive,
and whether that scene would show up in Season 2, or on the Season 1 DVDs (which became even more relevant when Dan announced that they didn’t have any extra footage/deleted scenes). I had also promised Blackfish Blues to shoehorn in an inquiry about her namesake.
Unfortunately, when the time for questions drew near, I was instructed by one of the blue-shirted “geniuses” to head towards the left side of the room. By the time I found someone who actually knew what was going on, and made my way to the correct side of the stage (ironically enough, the “right side”), there were already about 30 people in line. I think there were what, 12 or 13 questions that made it. On the plus side, we got answers as to how Lena managed to act while wearing a wig, and what perils Jon Snow might face in Season 2 (w/o any spoilers, of course). I heart other people.
Can’t complain though, it was such a fun experience. But I vow, by the old gods and the new, (and R’hllor, what the hell), that next year I will find the truth! (which means I’ll probably ask Maisie wtf was up with her “Arry” wig).
