The real life location of Salt's Neck

The fictional town of Salt's Neck in Severance got its life in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Some scenes were also shot at Bonavista and Trinity Bay North while an old fish plant served as the location of the old Lumon factory.

In the film, the location is portrayed in a darker tone but in reality, Patricia Arquette, who plays Corbel on the show, spoke about her wonderful experience filming on the location (Newfoundland) as she told Decider on March 6, 2025:

“Oh man, it was so cool. It’s so killer up there. I mean, it’s so, so far away. And because it’s so far away, it’s one of these frozen-in-time bubbles of a place. You feel the turn of the century, because you can hear the Irish brogue still there from the Irish settlers who came, you know, in the late 1700s or the early 1800s. It’s so frozen and cut off from everything that things feel like 20 years behind in some kind of way — in a good way.”

The actress further talked about the locals in the town as she said:

“There’s a fierceness to the people. The driver would tell me, ‘Oh yeah, it’s cold and frozen a lot of the years, so people get around by snowmobile and this woman got herself to the hospital an hour away by snowmobile while she was in labor.’ And that’s how women are there, you know?”

Both the seasons of Severance are available to stream on Apple TV+.
