Where is filmed? The Bay? The new ITV crime drama unfolds in a setting you've never seen on TV

When it comes to murder mysteries, the framework is still as integrated as the suspects and the scenario. Broadchurch It would be totally different without its coastal setting, all these black Scandi would feel a lot less strange without these glacial shots and the clatter of teeth caused by the freezing cold. And in the next crime drama of ITV The Baylocation is extremely important – as its name indicates. But where is The Bay filmed? According to the author of the show, this is happening in a setting that you have never seen on TV. So get ready for a murder mystery like no other.

As the The Bayof Daragh Carville (the brain behind BBC3) To be human, and Rupert Grint's star movie Cherry bomb) recently said Good Housekeeping, this new show is located in the bay of Morcambe, which, according to him, has never had "a television program in this region".

Morcambe Bay is a region of Lancaster and, according to its official tourist site, "extends from the southwestern coast of Cumbria to Fleetwood in Lancashire, pbading through coastal towns such as Grange Over Sands, Morecambe and Heysham ". The site goes on to say that Morcambe Bay is home to some of the "most beautiful coasts of Britain".

As revealed to Good HousekeepingCarville himself lives in the bay of Morcambe. So it's his own city that inspired the scenery of the show. You will discover much of the coastal city when Detective Sergeant Lisa Armstrong – the star of the series, played by Morven Christie – will attempt to solve the problem of the disappearance of two teenage girls from the region before discovering that she has a horrible personal connection with the case.

Catherine Oldfield, executive producer of the show, told BT The Bay first on ITV1 at 21h on Wednesday, March 20, she and Carville were eager to put Morcambe on the map. Oldfield said:

"No one has ever done any drama there and it's an exceptionally beautiful place. [writer Daragh Carville] said he was in Morecambe, that he can see in his office at the top of a hill in Lancashire, where he lives, it was not a trivial matter. It was useless to look elsewhere. Morecambe was that. "

Oldfield and Carville were also inspired by the idea of ​​placing their drama somewhere in a niche, because – as a recent infographic on social media was saying – both British television seems to be focused on the same areas. "It was a map of the United Kingdom made up of television shows, London was full of program titles, Glasgow had Taggart, Liverpool had Brookside, Manchester had a lot of things, the whole country was covered with drama and comedy, except this corner where I happened to live around the bay, "Oldfield told BT.

Does its setting under the radar, The Bay is sure to establish its own identity and unique point of sale from the start, while balancing the macabre and traumatic nature of the show with breathtaking beauty.
