Where is Viewpoint filmed? Location of new ITV drama

Viewpoint will hit the screens tonight after months of teasing from ITV.

The five-part gripping drama is based on an idea by Fleabag and Emmy award-winning director, Harry Bradbeer and co-created and written by Edgar award-winner Ed Whitmore.

It stars Noel Clarke as surveillance detective DC Martin Young, as well as Alexandra Roach, Catherine Tyldesley, Dominic Allburn, Fehinti Balogun and Bronagh Waugh. You can see the full cast list here.

The drama has been described as a "compelling, tense, claustrophobic thriller that turns the spotlight on the observer rather than the observed."

Where was Viewpoint filmed?

Viewpoint is set in Manchester and was filmed during 2020.

Director and Executive Producer, Ashley Way, said of the location: "Manchester is a beautiful place. It's a modern city that is very much rooted in its industrial past, which for a filmmaker is a dream.

"There are many rich architectural textures, showing its traditional past alongside its modern future.

"You often see a lot of Castlefield and the Northern Quarter but we wanted to show people the concrete and glass, and the beautiful Georgian streets that it's not necessarily known for.

"We wanted to energise the story with all these architectural styles. Thankfully Manchester has all that in abundance."

Viewpoint starts tonight at 9pm on ITV.
