Flesh and Blood follows a modern family as it spirals towards a tragedy - but where is it filmed?

The first episode aired on Monday, February 24 and ITV viewers were blown away by the filming locations.

Set on the Sussex coast, the series was filmed in a number of places close to Eastbourne, including Normans Bay.

According to Express.co.uk, the main location was Pevensey Bay.

While Beachy Head in East Sussex and Camber Sands, near Rye, also featured.

Director Louise Hooper explained to the publication why she chose the coast for Flesh and Blood.

She said: "There are lots of crime dramas and plots that are really anchored in locations and clues but this is something that can be a bit more heightened.

"You'll notice that there’s no town or city, we’re not anchored to anything. It kind of floats in its own heightened story."

Adding: "I wanted it to be a modern parable so you've got the sea which you've got no control over, the shingles.

"And you've the two houses and then, a bit like a theatre stage, you've got the characters that will come into that."

Revealing why the chosen location was perfect for all of the above, she said: "We filmed down there because as I was saying before, we didn’t want to put it into a town and we wanted to keep it quite wild."

Flesh and Blood continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
