Wondering where Stay Close was filmed and what is the town where the show is set

Where Is Stay Close Filmed? Where Is It Set?

The latest adaptation of a Harlan Coben novel, Stay Close, is streaming on
Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/]. This is not the first series that brings
Coben’s genius to the screen; we already saw Safe, followed by The Stranger, The
Woods, and The Innocent.

January 2022 couldn’t have asked for a better start than this, as we went on a
thrilling journey with yet another miniseries. The beautiful scenic beauty
baffled many people and they couldn’t help but ask: where is Stay Close filmed?
And we are here to give you an answer.



Now, the fans of the novel will definitely notice a plethora of changes that are
brought into the Netflix adaptation; but the biggest change is the setting of
the entire storyline. The novel originally was set in the United States but they
switched it to the United Kingdom in the miniseries.


WHERE IS STAY CLOSE SET?

Harlan Coben’s entire novel Stay Close is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
However, the Netflix Original [https://www.netflix.com/] series moved the story
across the pond to a British town by the name of Ridgewood.

We have to be honest though, Britain is undoubtedly a great place to have a
mystery thriller set in, and honestly, you won’t even mind that they changed the
location of the show.


WHERE IS STAY CLOSE FILMED?

The producers filmed the entire show in the north-western part of England,
primarily in the cities of Manchester and Blackpool.

Speaking to Manchester Evening News
[https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/tv/stay-close-netflix-filmed-manchester-22598966],
Coben shared: “[As well as Manchester], we also used Blackpool, while the book
is set in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Blackpool really looks a lot like Atlantic
City! It’s always a challenge to move things around.”

Coben continued
[https://www.bt.com/tv/drama/harlan-coben-stay-close-netflix-series]: “I know
some people are like ‘you’re not keeping true to the book’, but I love that
hybrid of what British crime does so well and what I do in novels. I love making
changes. A book is a book and a TV series is a TV series. They are not the same
thing and they shouldn’t be. Both should be compelling stories, but the worst
adaptations are the ones that are slavishly devoted to the text.”

We are hoping we get to see more of these locations should Netflix opt to make
Stay Close Season 2.
