The remote vacation home in M. Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin is supposed to feel cut off from civilization, leaving Andrew, Eric, and Wen with almost no way of knowing whether the terrifying claims made by their four visitors are actually true. The production achieved that isolation in South Jersey’s Pine Barrens, but the…
Originally titled “L’Arène,” Netflix’s The Arena brings together 38 amateur MMA fighters for a competition overseen by Ciryl Gane, Cédric Doumbè and Benoît Saint-Denis. The fighters enter an enormous Fight Camp where physical challenges, technical tests and cage fights gradually reduce the field, with €100,000 and a professional MMA contract awaiting each eventual winner. Netflix…
Paul Greengrass’ The Uprising takes viewers deep into 14th-century England, moving from rural settlements to crowded city streets as Andrew Garfield’s Ploughman becomes caught up in the Peasants’ Revolt. Yet much of the medieval England seen on screen was created hundreds of miles away from the places where the real uprising unfolded. The Uprising was…
Coven Academy takes the familiar supernatural boarding-school setup and relocates it to one of America’s most atmospheric cities. Created by Tim Federle, the Freeform and Disney+ series follows Briar, Sasha and Tegan, three teenage witches studying at an elite magical academy in New Orleans while navigating friendships, rivalries and the much older forces surrounding their…
Netflix’s East of Eden may belong to California’s Salinas Valley on the page, but Zoe Kazan’s seven-part adaptation found much of its early-20th-century America thousands of miles away. Florence Pugh leads the series as Cathy Ames, whose path becomes entangled with brothers Adam and Charles Trask before the story moves into another generation of the…

Nicole Dionne stars as Meredith, a woman living a quiet country life with her husband when a neighbor invites them over for dinner and introduces a young woman as his visiting niece. The explanation initially sounds ordinary, but…
Lifetime’s The Little Girl Who Didn’t Exist turns an ordinary childhood friendship into the kind of mystery that makes every familiar street and neighbor seem slightly less trustworthy. Christie Osterhus plays Mel Brodsky, a social worker who becomes curious when her daughter starts talking about a new friend named Sara. Mel initially has little reason…
Pumpkin Regatta Romance takes one of Hallmark’s more unusual fall traditions and builds an entire small-town romance around it. Mishael Morgan stars as Nadine Brooks, whose family operates the local marina, while Corey Sevier plays pumpkin farmer Ethan King. Their fathers have allowed an old disagreement to derail the community’s signature Pumpkin Regatta, leaving Nadine…
American Horror Story has never treated location as simple background decoration. From the Los Angeles mansion associated with Murder House to the New Orleans atmosphere surrounding Coven and the New York setting of AHS: NYC, each installment uses architecture and geography to establish its own personality. Season 13 continues that tradition, but the production has…
Unabomber moves between two versions of Ted Kaczynski’s life that look as though they belong to different films. One follows the gifted teenager arriving at Harvard in 1958, where he comes into contact with psychologist Henry Murray and participates in a controversial research program. The other jumps forward to the 1990s, when federal investigators are…
A Different World returns to Hillman College with a new generation, but Netflix’s sequel does something the original sitcom could only occasionally attempt. Instead of keeping most of student life inside studio-built classrooms and dorm rooms, the new series takes Hillman outdoors and allows viewers to move through real quads, walkways and college buildings. Maleah…
Wonka’s The Golden Ticket was filmed in Australia, with its main factory sets at Village Roadshow Studios on Queensland’s Gold Coast and additional filming at White Bay Power Station in Sydney.
