SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO: 'Outer Range' Season 2 will stream on Prime Video on May 16, 2024, and it is a mystery thriller with a sci-fi element about the Abbott Family and its head Royal Abbot (Josh Brolin).

Created by Brian Watkins, the series is based in a town called Wyoming that has a Western vibe. Filming for the series has been done in the state of New Mexico using its vast open spaces and counties to capture wide open spaces and wilderness. 

The series features a talented cast of Josh Brolin, Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Shaun Sipos, Tamara Podemski, Tom Pelphrey, and others. Here is a detailed look at the filming locations of 'Outer Range' Season 2

Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, widely regarded as a great art city has been used for filming some external shots and cityscapes wherever they have been needed for the plot. 

Santa Fe, rich in art and culture is filmed by the makers of the series for multiple scenes. While the major filming portions of the city are in rural landscapes, the beauty of Santa Fe adds to the plot of Outer Range.

Las Vegas, New Mexico, not to be confused with Las Vegas, Nevada is a county in New Mexico that serves as a primary filming location for 'Outer Range' with its rural wilderness and wide open spaces. 

The second season of the series has extensively been filmed in the county, particularly for the external scenes of the series. Filming the series here is also economically beneficial for the county which has a population of approximately 13000 people. 

Amber Dodson, New Mexico Film Office director said, "It is exciting to see a successful production like ‘Outer Range' continue to choose New Mexico and for rural areas like Las Vegas to continue to see the economic benefits of a television series for two consecutive years", as per Albuquerque Journal.

Albuquerque, New Mexico has become a preferred filming location for makers as we have seen many different films and series shot in the city that has good infrastructure for filmmaking. It is an important filming location for 'Outer Range' too. 

The series centers around the Abbot Ranch which has been created in Albuquerque. Further, the interior scenes of the series have been shot in the  I-25 Studios, also based in Albuquerque, as per Wide Open Country.
