With dark humor always lurking on the tips of the characters’ tongues, it sheds quite a bit of light on the suspenseful aspects of the series.
Still, the gripping narrative keeps viewers on the edge of their seats in every episode. Moreover, the scenic and interesting locations in the background make you curious about the actual filming locations of ‘Bad Sisters.’
Where Was Bad Sisters Series Filmed?
Bad Sisters is filmed in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England, specifically in County Dublin, Belfast, and London. Principal photography on the inaugural iteration of the dark comedy is said to have begun in the summer of 2021 and wrapped up in September of that year.
With the story taking place in Dublin and London, it makes sense why the production team would choose to shoot most of the series on location. It not only adds an element of authenticity but also provides an immersive viewing experience for viewers.
County Dublin
The main parts of “Bad Sisters” are sold in County Dublin, a county in the province of Leinster. While filming the debut season in August 2021, the cast and crew were spotted filming several key sequences around Forty Foot, a headland at the southern tip of Dublin Bay in Sandycove.
