Would you want to return to the place where you were seriously injured during a stunt? One that put you in hospital for a few months? The Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien won’t be coming back to Cache Creek, B.C.
A year later, Maze Runner: The Death Cure is about to re-start production but in a different location — South Africa not B.C.

The third film in the $600-million The Maze Runner trilogy — adapted from James Dashner’s novels — takes place a year or so after the Scorch Trials, with a grittier, more film noir look, according to Wes Ball. WCKD has taken everything from Thomas (Dylan O’Brien). It’s time to shut it down for good by exposing the truth.
Slate from the start of Cache Creek production almost a year ago.
Maze Runner: The Death Cure starts filming in South Africa on March 6th, according to Production Weekly.
