Silence (Muted) Shooting Positions

Principal photography for the first season of the thriller reportedly began in May 2022 and was completed in September of the same year, after about 84 days of filming. Now, let's go through all the specific locations that can be seen in the Netflix series!
Madrid, Spain
Many key sequences for Muted were filmed in and around the Spanish capital, Madrid, and the production camped in different streets and neighborhoods throughout the city for filming purposes. First of all, they take advantage of the facilities of Estudios Barajas C/ de Campezo, 3 in Madrid. Founded in 1985, the film studio features a 1.847 square foot set, dressing rooms, loading and unloading dock, production offices and bedroom area.
Thus, given all these possibilities, Estudios Barajas is a suitable filming site for various film projects, including 'Muted'. Over the years, Madrid has hosted the production of several movies and TV shows. Some notable ones are 'Enemy', 'Quantum Consolation', 'Money Heist' and 'Snowgirl'.
Biscay, Spain
The crew traveled to the Spanish province of Biscay, a historic region of the Basque Country, to shoot several key parts of 'Muted'. Specifically, Bilbao, the state's largest city, serves as one of the primary production locations for Spanish TV series. Most of the key scenes of season 1 were recorded in and around Paseo Uribitarte and Calle Henao, both located in Bilbao.
Also, the Isozaki Atea twin towers are in the background of several exterior shots. You can even see other highlights and parks in different sections, such as Bilbao Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, Doña Casilda Iturrizar Park, Europa Park and Miribilla Park.
