Where does Scotland come in?
Among the filming locations for The Princess Switch: Switched Again were Glasgow Cathedral, as well as Edinburgh Gateway train station, which was transformed into an airport. The exterior of Mimi's Bakehouse in Leith became a festive-looking cake shop.
Glasgow Cathedral is a popular spot.
Indeed. The hit TV series Outlander and Netflix's Robert the Bruce biopic, Outlaw King, have shot there in recent years. The area around Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis was used for scenes in upcoming superhero blockbuster The Batman.

At a Christmas coronation, Stacy and Margaret pull the old switcheroo again but unbeknown to them a third lookalike, scheming party girl Lady Fiona, has hatched a plan to steal the throne.
When can I watch?
The Princess Switch: Switched Again premieres on Netflix this Thursday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
