Where Is Netflix’s ‘Back to 15’ Filmed? Exploring the Locations of the Popular Series

  • DCS 

In the Brazilian fantasy comedy-drama series “Back to 15” on Netflix, Anita, a 30-year-old woman, reflects on how her 15-year-old self thought she would have her life under control by this point. She had assumed that she would have left her small town of Imperatriz, travelled much, and made a lot of friends, but she was mistaken because that is not at all how her life has turned out. Anita accidentally time-travels to when she was 15 years old and starts messing in everyone’s lives.

Anita eventually comes to the conclusion that she is the one who needs to fix her own life, not the lives of others, sooner rather than later. The comedy series, originally named “De Volta aos 15,” transports viewers back in time to follow the protagonists as they navigate both their present and former selves against the backdrop of their homes and schools. So, if you’re curious about the location where “Back to 15” was filmed, look no further!
