It’s indisputable that Netflix has upped the standard of unscripted entertainment over the years, with dating series being considered its specialty. After all, the global streamer has effectively launched one huge hit after another, whether it’s ‘Dating Around,’ ‘Too Hot to Handle,’ or ‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.’ The latter, in particular, is extremely interesting because it follows the complicated journey of already established couples attempting to determine whether or not they are ready to take the next step.

In other words, the plot of ‘The Ultimatum’ centres around six couples on the point of vowing forever — one spouse is ready for marriage, while the other is unsure. As a result, a final notification is delivered, prompting them to participate in an experiment in which they date amongst themselves, choose a new partner, and embark into a “trial marriage” to realize their potential futures. During this time, the participants go about their daily lives in their bustling base city, deciding whether to commit or go on. So, let’s get into the specifics of where this Netflix film is being shot.

Filming Locations for The Ultimatum

‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On’ is shot in the Texas city of Austin. It’s no surprise that the show comes from the creators of ‘Love is Blind,’ as not only do Nick and Vanessa Lachey act as hosts, but the series is also set in a single location.

The normalcy of the 2020 event was what made it stand out at initially, and ‘The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On’ achieves the same thing. That, paired with the show’s perfect blend of drama, romance, tears, and humor, makes the show’s future look bright. With that said, let us walk you through the locations included in the first season of the reality show.

Texas’s capital city, Austin

The hotel where the couples spend the majority of their time is undoubtedly the principal filming location of ‘The Ultimatum,’ Austin Marriott Downtown at 304 East Cesar Chavez Street. This four-star facility (with practically every luxury imaginable) is only around 300 meters from the Austin Convention Center and a short walk from the famous 6th Street. Aside from that, the show uses local cafes or pubs as production locations, such as Patrizi’s on Manor Road and Moontower Saloon on Menchaca Road, among others.

Aside from the fact that Austin is just lovely, one of the main reasons the Netflix original likely chose it as its base might be that it is primarily full of inclusiveness and diversity. That is also obvious in the first season of the streamer’s ‘Twentysomethings.’ Other shows that have used this amazing location for filming include ‘The Leftovers’ (2014–2017), ‘Fear the Walking Dead’ (2015–), ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ (2020–), and ‘Walker’ (2021–). Even ‘Kill Bill: Vol. 1’ (2003) and ‘Bird Box’ (2018) had scenes shot in the city.
