Production






= First season

=
Location filming took place in several cities of Ontario, including Cambridge, Hamilton, and Toronto, in 2018. In Cambridge, the city hall was used to represent Scotland Yard and Cambridge University. In January 2019, filming shifted to London in the United Kingdom. Principal photography was completed in 40 days.




= Second season

=
Departure was renewed for a second season on 11 September 2020. Production was already underway by 20 September 2020.
Christopher Plummer filmed his scenes from his home in Connecticut instead of traveling to the sets in Toronto due to travel restrictions into Canada owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Plummer had completed filming his scenes for the second season shortly before he passed away on 5 February 2021. Plummer's work in the second season was his final on-screen performance before his death.




= Third season

=
Location filming took place mostly in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, and in Toronto. Weather was cited as a huge element in the story since the season revolved around a ferryboat dealing with "big waves and lots of water and rain".
Streaming was moved from Peacock to the Canadian network Global in May 2021.

Reception
