The Movie Was Filmed in Canada

Terminal Descent was filmed in Canada, including the Vancouver region. When Elliott had to quarantine for 14 days before filming, he posted a photo about how much he didn’t like quarantining. Quite a few fans misunderstood and thought he had COVID-19, which he later had to correct.

He was in much better spirits by the last day of his mandated quarantine.

He had to take a lot of precautions while filming.

Elliott said it was beautiful in Vancouver while he was filming the fourth movie in the series.

Chabert also shared a photo of how beautiful the scenery was while they filmed the fourth movie.

The fourth movie wrapped in mid-November.

Barbara Niven shared this behind-the-scenes moment from filming.

Elliott shared on Instagram that he really loves his role on Crossword Mysteries. He wrote:  “Playing this guy gives me the best joy!,… Always find joy in whatever you do, and try as much as possible to kill it while you be you!!….”

This is the latest installment in the Crossword Mysteries series. The synopsis for the new movie reads: “After volunteering to participate in a crossword solving competition with a new supercomputer, crossword puzzle editor Tess Harper finds herself swept into the investigation of the bizarre murder of a tech CEO.”

Here’s the lineup of Crossword Mysteries movies in the order they have aired:
