Netflix's must-see series “The Perfect Couple” has the archetypal recipe for a captivating new TV drama: straight from the page to the screen, gorgeous locations, an all-star Hollywood cast, and a gripping murder mystery at its center. The six-episode miniseries is set during a WASP-like wedding weekend. As the police investigate the case, the secrets of each member of the wealthy Wimberly family, played by familiar faces such as Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, and Dakota Fanning, surface, and it becomes clear that everyone has a reason to commit murder.

The cast and crew set up store on picturesque Cape Cod to bring this New England thriller to life. Read on to learn more about the filming locations for The Perfect Couple. (For a breakdown of the shocking ending, click here.)

Like Erin Hilderbrand's novel of the same name, Netflix's “The Perfect Couple” is set on the picturesque island of Nantucket, Massachusetts. This small New England island, beloved for its white sand beaches, stately mansions, and upscale boutiques, has long been a vacation destination for the wealthy and WASP-like. The same weekend that “The Perfect Couple” was released, Beyonce was spotted attending a wedding in Nantucket.

In an interview with Nantucket Current, Hilderbrand, himself a longtime resident of Nantucket and author of 27 books set on the island, said that “The Perfect Couple” includes Mitchell's Book Corner, the restaurant Brotherhood of Thieves, She acknowledged that there are many local references in the book, including a scene filmed on the Lynx, a high-rise ship in Nantucket Harbor. But she also acknowledged that a small town would not have been able to handle such a big production, and the Netflix series was filmed elsewhere in Massachusetts.

To film the mini-series set in New England, the Perfect Couple crew headed to Chatham, a seaside town on the southeastern edge of Cape Cod. Although they had to take a two-hour ferry ride to reach Nantucket Island, Chatham is adjacent to the mainland, and according to location production assistant Sean Gibbons, the logistics of filming there were easy.

Speaking to Boston.com, Hilderbrand said, “The majority of ‘The Perfect Couple’ was shot on location in Chatham, so the film will have a real Cape and Island feel.”

According to the Cape Cod Times, the mansion that replaced the Wimberly family's Summerland mansion is a private estate in the coastal Eastward Point neighborhood, which includes several single-family homes with private beaches on Pleasant Bay.

Meanwhile, several storefronts in North Chatham's Northport Plaza were reportedly produced to appear in the series as stand-ins for the Nantucket Police Department and its surrounding stores; according to House & Garden, The Perfect Couple was also filmed at the Chatham Beach & Tennis Club in Lighthouse Beach.
