 Many scenes were filmed on location in Los Angeles, California.The high school used for external and some internal scenes in the series is Torrance High School, the same school used for the series "Beverly Hills, 90210".The series premiere begins at Sunnydale High School, where a boy (played by Carmine Giovinazzo) breaks into the school during the night with a seemingly reluctant girl (Julie Benz), promising her mischief and therefore fun.
