WHERE IS BAD SISTERS FILMED? TV SHOW FILMING LOCATIONS

Based on the Flemish series ‘Clan’ by Malin-Sarah Gozin, Apple TV+’s ‘Bad Sisters’ is a dark comedy thriller series created by Sharon Horgan that follows the five Garvey sisters — Grace, Ursula, Eva, Bibi, and Becka. When their parents die prematurely and unexpectedly, the sisters find themselves in a complicated situation that puts their bond to the test. After the family tragedy, the Garvey sisters must get over their differences and try to fulfill the promises they made to always look after one another. Meanwhile, the authorities attempt to solve the mystery behind the death. With dark humor always lurking on the tip of the characters’ tongues, it lightens up the thrilling aspects of the series quite significantly. Nevertheless, the suspenseful narrative keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats through each episode. In addition, the picturesque and interesting locations in the backdrop make one curious about the actual filming sites of the series. If you are one such curious soul, allow us to rid you of your curiosities by filling you in on all the details regarding the same! BAD SISTERS FILMING LOCATIONS ‘Bad Sisters’ is filmed in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England, specifically in County Dublin, Belfast, and London. The principal photography for the inaugural iteration of the dark comedy series took place in 2021 and wrapped up in September of the same year. Since the story is based in Dublin and London, it makes sense why the filming unit chooses to record a majority of the series on location. Not only does it add an element of authenticity, but it also gives viewers an immersive viewing experience. So, let’s get to know about all the specific locations that appear in the Apple TV+ series! COUNTY DUBLIN, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND Major portions of ‘Bad Sisters’ are lensed in County Dublin, a county in the province of Leinster. During the filming schedule of the debut season, particularly in August 2021, the production team was spotted taping several pivotal sequences in and around Forty Foot, a promontory on the southern tip of Dublin Bay at Sandycove. They even shot some water scenes at the Irish Sea surrounding the promontory. Furthermore, the suburban village of Howth and the coastal settlement of Malahide in Fingal serve as prominent production locations for the thriller series. Apart from ‘Bad Sisters,’ you may spot some parts of County Dublin in other movies and TV shows, such as ‘Braveheart,’ ‘Mary Shelley,’ ‘Normal People,’ and ‘Penny Dreadful.’ BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND As per reports, the cast and crew members of ‘Bad Sisters’ also utilize the locales of Belfast, the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, for the production of the series. Located on the banks of the River Lagan on the east coast, Belfast is known to be one of the most visited cities in all of the United Kingdom. The city is home to several beautiful parks and gardens, including Botanic Gardens and Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park, to name a couple. LONDON, ENGLAND A few additional portions of the dark comedy series are also taped in London, the capital and largest city of England and the United Kingdom. Situated in southeast England, London is considered one of the major global cities as it is highly influential in several industries, such as art, fashion, education, entertainment, healthcare, tourism, commerce and finance, science and technology, media, transport, and communications. Over the years, the capital has served as a prominent production location for different kinds of filming projects, including ‘Jurassic World Dominion,’ ‘The Batman,’ ‘Ted Lasso,’ and ‘Industry.’ Read More: Bad Sisters – Season 1 Episode 2 « Explode a Man » Recap & Review Read the full article

QUEENS ROAD

The route required the implementation of a one-way system for vehicles on Seapoint Avenue, Queen’s Road, Windsor Terrace and Marine Parade

I TOOK A WALK ALONG QUEENS ROAD A FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2020 – DUN LAOGHAIRE Along this road at least one traditional “cabman’s shelter” survives – these were small buildings built for the drivers of horse-drawn taxis. I always believed that there were three but it would appear that two may be replicas. A segregated cycle route, from Blackrock to the Forty Foot in Sandycove has be installed…

Ireland or the Mediterranean 🤔 . . Forty foot - Sandycove, Co. Dublin, Ireland 🍀🌊 Very popular swimming spot in the summer of course - but many locals go for a dip here everyday all year round no matter the weather! . Photo by @alan_chrstn . . As for the origin of the name the 'Forty Foot', well.. we're not quite sure. A few speculations of where it came from: ~ after the 42nd Highland Regiment of Foot (now known as the Black Watch), a regiment of the British Army, which was stationed here ~ the depth of the water (but it's less than 40 feet) ~ the width of the road leading to it ~ the fact that many times people would converge upon the bathing place in groups of about 20 people i.e. "forty feet" ~ (and my personal favourite) the amount of fun you have out there.. as in "this much fun" 😅 https://ift.tt/2tsq23F

A gentle route to begin with

To begin our journey, we must always start off small and build our way up to more challenging and lengthy routes. So today I’m going to take you along a flat 10km route by Dublin’s coast. This route will vary between pedestrian/cycling tacks and travelling along the main road. Though the main roads we will be travelling along are not hectic nor extremely busy routes, it would be recommended to go outside of the rush hour traffic hours.

As I live in Greystones, I brought my bike on the DART as far as Sandymount and started my cycling from there. It is permitted to bring a bicycle on board a DART, so long as it is not prime time, so do check your times and consult in your nearest DART station if needs be.

Down Sandymount Avenue and onto Merrion Road for 3km. Here may be the most bustling section of the route so just stay left and keep out of traffics way. After passing Booterstown Dart station, we will come to Blackrock Park, just off Rock Road. Turn left into the park and from here we can escape the busy traffic and enjoy the coastal views with the well-known Poolbeg chimneys in the backdrop. When we get to Blackrock DART station we must come back on to the road and continue along for Seapoint with some lovely views of the sea and historical points such as Martello Tower that features in James Joyce’s Ulysses, this is also a nice spot for a dip, so if you are a fan of the revitalising Irish sea, don’t forget your trunks!

After enjoying the coastal views of Monkstown and Dun Laoghaire, we make our way past the pier and Sandycove Castle, on toward the mythical Forty Foot where we can cool off. If you’re brave enough to tempt the waters during the  cold months of Winter and early Spring, there is a sauna at a beautiful 40 degree heat which may be needed for our aching bones, all for a small price. After drying ourselves, we can make it back to Dun Laoghaire for some delicious Ramen in ‘Soup’ on Lower George’s Street to heat ourselves up before getting the DART home. What a perfect afternoon out! #Onyourbike everyone!
