Absentia (2017)

A missing FBI agent reappears six years after being declared dead.

Sofia Doubles for Boston: Although Absentia is set in Boston, almost all of the filming took place in Sofia, Bulgaria. The production team found that Sofia's mix of architectural styles could convincingly portray both the "Back Bay-ish" avenues and rougher edges of Boston.
Accent Adjustments: The show had a dedicated accent coach who fine-tuned the actors' American accents. The coach mentioned that most actors came in with 90-95% of their accent work done, and their job was to tweak the problem areas.
Katic as Executive Producer: Stana Katic, who plays Emily Byrne, was also an executive producer for Absentia. She found this role exciting because it allowed her to participate in other aspects of filmmaking.
Pranks on Set: To lighten the mood of the tense thriller, the cast members often played pranks on each other between takes. The cast and crew enjoyed filming in Bulgaria, appreciating the beautiful locations and the respect they received from the locals.
Series Meant to End After 3 Seasons: According to Stana Katic, Absentia was always intended to be a three-season story. She felt that three seasons were the perfect amount of time to take the protagonist on her journey from victim to survivor.
