Production

edit

The series was created by Stefan H. Lindén for New Stories. Principal photography for the first season took place on location in Oskarshamn in 2018. Other filming locations included Karlskrona, Kalmar, Växjö, and Stockholm.[4][5] The second season was filmed in autumn 2019. Eagles has been compared to the Norwegian teen drama series Skam, an assessment that Lindén strongly disagrees with.[6]
