Utopia is set in London, but was filmed mostly in Merseyside and Yorkshire between April and October 2012, while the panning shot of the Mercury Hotel in the first episode was filmed in Westhoughton.

When did they start filming Utopia?

Filming for the series began in 2018 with multiple directors, and the filming wrapped in October 2019.

Why did Utopia get Cancelled?

But the series eventually fell apart due to budget issues and Fincher walked. Amazon swooped in to rescue the project in 2018, ordering it straight to series. As a result of all of this, Amazon has pulled the plug and made it official: Utopia is canceled.
