Netflix’s “The Stranger” Written and directed by Thomas M. Wright, is an Australian crime thriller inspired by a tragic real-life case – the kidnapping and murder of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe in 2003. The story follows the chance meeting and friendship of two strangers – Henry Teague and Mark. With a lifetime of physical labor under his belt, this friendship is a blessing for Henry as his new friend becomes his much-needed ally and savior.
However, both Mark and Henry are not who they seem on the surface, as each harbors some dark secrets that have the potential to destroy them and their friendship. Meanwhile, police are closing in on cracking one of the biggest operations in the country. A dark undertone on some interesting set pieces complements the suspenseful narrative that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. So it’s natural to wonder where ‘The Stranger’ was filmed.
Where Was The Stranger Movie Filmed?
“The Stranger” was filmed entirely in Australia, specifically in South Australia. Officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, it is a sovereign country that includes the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and many smaller islands.
Principal photography, starring Joel Edgerton, began in October 2020 after sufficient COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, under the working title “The Unknown Man” and seemingly completed by the end of the same year. Without further ado, let us take you to all the specific locations featured in The Stranger Netflix movie!

Established in August 2011, the film studio features two sound stages, a Dolby Premier 7.1 Mixing Theatre, production offices, editing rooms, and a foley stage, making it a suitable filming location for a variety of productions.
Also known as the Wine State, South Australia is Australia’s fourth largest state in terms of land area. It is home to a number of tourist attractions including the Big Rocking Horse, Monarto Safari Park, South Australian Aviation Museum, and Marineland of South Australia to name a few.
