Filming Locations: Where was American Vandal filmed?

Who drew the dicks? This was the 2017' Who Killed Laura Palmer. The new Netflix series is a true-crime parody.

The plot unfolds the mystery around the 27 penises that a morning appeared on 27 cars in the parking lot at Hanover High.

The cast features Jimmy Tatro as Dylan, accused of the act of public vandalism, investigated by the aspiring documentarian Peter (Tyler Alvarez). This eight-episode season also stars Griffin Gluck, Jessica Juarez, Camille Hyde, Lukas Gage, and Eduardo Franco.

Although set in Oceanside and Carlsbad, American Vandal was actually filmed in Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood by the coast of the city of Los Angeles, near the Santa Monica Mountains.

For season 2 the production was moved to Portland, Oregon. These are the most relevant filming locations for one of the less anticipated shows of the year.

The fictional Hanover High School in Oceanside was filmed at Palisades Charter High School.

The Netflix series The Stranger is also shot in an invented town and high school, called Cedarfield, located in the UK.

According to a local newspaper, some filming took place in the area of Venice, also in the Westside of Los Angeles.

At first, it seemed that Palisades High might have been used only for establishment shots and aerial views.

However, we can confirm that the crew was filming on the campus.

Season 2 takes place in St. Bernardine Catholic School in Bellevue, Washington.

The exterior filming location of the building pictured was a mystery until one of our friends unveiled it: Marylhurst University in Lake Oswego, Oregon (Map).

According to IMDb American Vandal S2 was also filmed in Mt. Hood Community College and Oregon City High School, both in Portland.
