Amazon rom-com filmed in Harrogate to be released next month
An Amazon MGM Studios production starring Camila Mendes, which was partly filmed in Harrogate, is due to be released next month.
Upgraded, which tells the story of an aspiring art intern who sparks up a romance on a work trip, was shot in the town in the summer of 2022.
A spokesperson for the production company told the Stray Ferret scenes were shot at the DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel, which “doubles as a posh London hotel”, as well as The Mercer Art Gallery, on Swan Road.

It appears the scenes shot in Harrogate will pass off as London in the film. Asked why Harrogate was chosen, the spokesperson said:
Part of the Stray was also used to film a football match scene.
The crew was spotted filming on the Stray in August 2022.
The Stray Ferret reported on the production at the time of filming after American-Brazilian actress Camila Mendes, the leading lady, was spotted in the town.
Ms Mendes, who starred as Veronica Lodge in Netflix’s Riverdale, is joined by British actor Archie Renaux, as well as Marisa Tomei who featured in the Spider-Man franchise and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
Upgraded will be released on Prime Video on February 9.
The trailer is available to watch on Youtube now.
