The Sister filming locations
Filming for The Sister took place in December 2019 with many scenes shot on-location "around London", according to the drama's star Russell Tovey.
"We filmed most of The Sister around London. Some of the most challenging scenes were during two weeks of night shoots in the rain," he said.
"The crew would probably say that was one of the hardest experiences of their whole careers. It was really tough filming those scenes at night. This was a hard job. But it looks amazing on screen, so it was absolutely worth it."
According to inews.co.uk, in one particular scene, Tovey is seen in Brewers Lane in Richmond, West London.
Carvel, who plays Bob in the series, described the woodland night shoots as "pretty gruelling".
"The most challenging thing about that for me was shooting a whole sequence basically set in a car in the woods," he said. "We shot all the exterior stuff around the car in the woods; but all of the interior stuff in the same car in a studio at the other end of the shoot. Including scenes of leaning in and out of the car."
However, Acharia filmed most of her scenes indoors. "Compared to Russell [Tovey] I probably had an easier ride of it, cos luckily I got to be in a nice house in really nice clothes and warm clothes, while he was out in the woods running like a maniac."
