The second season was shot in the first half of 2020. Due to Covid most of
the shootings were moved to Bristol. Certain scenes were also shot in
Cardiff, Cornwall and London.
In this article i want to share my knowledge about movie locations they
used in the second season as there is only little information about this on
the web. During my research i mainly focussed on places that you can
actually visit and not some indoor sets. Also the Scenes i did my reseach on
are all in some way important for the story.
Some of the Locations are already on the Web but the majority
of it wasnt. It was quite some work for some to find them. Others were
found in less than a minute. What also helped me a lot was the awesome
coverage of Google Street View in the UK.
At the end of this page you will find a map with all locations of this
season for a better overview. For each Location an adress or coordinates
for more precision will be provided.
All Screenshots can be viewed here for better resolution.
