Real & Reel comparison between the Nicola Valley and The Hammer (2023).

Reba McEntire's The Hammer was filmed entirely in British Columbia, mainly in Merritt and Quilchena. The production used numerous urban locations in the city, and scenic locations in the area to double as the American West. In addition, a large scale set was built just outside of Merritt.
