Where is Zero Chill filmed?
Zero Chill is set and was filmed in the city of Sheffield, England, with the city's £15 million iceSheffield Skating Arena serving as the fictional Hammarström Ice Hockey Academy.
Executive producer Angelo Abela said they chose Sheffield as the show's location for "many practical reasons."
Abela explained: "Sheffield is one of the UK's major ice-skating hubs and we visited the city's iceSheffield arena, to get some advice from the former Team GB figure-skating head coach, David Hartley, who works there.
"Where there, the arena's general manager said, 'Why don't you shoot the drama here?' Amazingly, he offered us complete access to one of their three rinks for the duration of filming and we were able to hire David as our head coach at the same time!
"We also found a ready-made skating community from where we could find our extras and doubles. Plus, the city has a particularly good ice hockey team of their own, The Sheffield Steelers, and we were able to get two former members of their team to coach for us too. It really did all fit together like a magical jigsaw."
