The first series was made on location in and around Wyndham, a town in northern Western Australia. Other scenes were shot at Kununurra and on Aboriginal lands belonging to the Miriuwung, Gajerrong and Balanggarra in the Kimberley.[19] Location shooting took approximately 10 weeks.[5]

It was Thornton's first time directing for television, and he said that Blair's experience in this medium was vital. He also said that Sen and Perkins had done the hard work creating "this unique world", which gave the directors of Series 2 a strong foundation, so they could focus on the performances.[20]

Mystery Road: Origin was also filmed in WA, around Kalgoorlie, Boulder and Coolgardie.[21]
Critical reception
Series 1
Series 2
The Guardian reviewer Luke Buckmaster praised the "extraordinary breadth" of the show, in the way it portrays the country "only just beginning to come to terms with its past". He praised Pedersen’s performance, which "simultaneously [projects] great strength and great sorrow", as a man "caught between traditions, between worldviews, between laws and lores".[8]
Series 3
In The Sydney Morning Herald, Kylie Northover gave Mystery Road: Origin a rating of five stars,[21] while The Guardian gave it four (out of five).[4]
