Initial production and filming for Safehaven began in June 2022, having been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] To respect COVID-19 protocols and safety measures, the series was filmed using virtual sets including temperature checks and full-body scans along with weekly COVID-19 testing. Additionally, the cast and crew was given on-site campus-style accommodations, along with a "pod system with departments operating autonomous[ly]."[5] On the subject of filming techniques, executive producers stated that "this production is going to embrace the best of old-world production techniques, including analog film stocks [...] and also cutting edge Virtual Set technologies to create the exciting parallel world in the Safehaven story. We also intend to utilize holograms from Groove Media And Entertainment in both the production and the promotion of Safehaven."[5]
