production
X Company is the realization of a several year old idea by Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern. A short film with the title Remembrance ensured enough popularity to raise the necessary motivation to realize the script, which was eventually titled X Company . The first season was initially filmed under the title Camp X from August to September 2014 in Budapest (Hungary). X Company was inspired by the real Camp X training center located between Whitby , Ontario and Oshawa .
The second season was shot in July 2015 within four months in Budapest and Esztergom in Hungary. The second season premiered on January 27, 2016 on CBC.
