To continue recording the first season, the production team traveled to Uster, east of Zürich. It is the third-largest city in central Zürich. Since much of its territory is forested or used for farming purposes, it is an ideal place to shoot a farm-focused series such as, ‘New Heights.’ in Uster.
Located in Lake Greifensee, Uster has a beautiful watery area. The village even has many of the world’s landmarks, including Uster Reformed Church, Frie Kirche Uster, and Uster Castle. In addition, Uster is known for its efforts to preserve its beautiful antique appearance while incorporating modern design into architecture. Indeed, this aging works well for creating the ambiance needed for Netflix production.
