Is Easttown a real place?
For those wondering where Easttown is and whether you can visit Mare's small Pennsylvania suburb, the good news is that it does exist!
The drama is set in a fictionalised version of Easttown Township and while in the show, Easttown is found in Delaware County, the real-life place is located in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Easttown Township is located right next to Berwyn, Pennsylvania, which is where the show's creator Brad Ingelsby (The Way Back, Our Friend) grew up.
Similar to the dramatised version seen in Mare of Easttown, Easttown Township is a small village with a population of just over 10,000 according to the 2010 census.

Where is Mare of Easttown filmed?
While Mare of Easttown is set in a fictionalised version of Chester County's Easttown Township, the Sky Atlantic drama wasn't actually filmed there.
The series was filmed in and around Northwest Philadelphia, with production taking place in Delaware County suburban spots such as Wissahickon Valley Park, Roxborough and Boothwyn in 2019.
An old train station in Coatesville was used as Easttown's police station, while Mare's house is actually located in Wallingford.
Kate Winslet decided to adopt the Delco (Delaware County) accent in the role of Mare, telling The Philadelphia Inquirer: "I'm an actor who doesn't like to get things wrong."
"I think it was a challenge she wanted to nail," Ingelsby added.
Mare of Easttown continues on Sky Atlantic on Mondays. Check out our TV Guide to find something to watch, or visit our Drama hub for all the latest news.
