CHANNEL 5's new psychological drama The Deceived is set in England and Ireland.
The Deceived features rugged countryside, which further emphasises Ophelia's isolation.
Where is The Deceived filmed?
The Deceived is filmed across England and Northern Ireland.
University of Cambridge
The show begins at the University of Cambridge, where Ophelia is a student.
Michaell is keen for his affair with Ophelia to stay in the university.
Cambridge makes an excellent backdrop for the show as it verges on the edge of beautiful and creepy, with its intricate gothic design and dark corners hiding secrets.
Donegal
Donegal is the region where most the action is set.
County Donegal borders Atlantic Ocean in northwestern Ireland. It is largely made up of wild countryside, rugged coastlines, castles, and mountains.
Donegal is often referred to as 'The Forgotten County' as it is remote and difficult to access, making it the perfect setting for a psychological drama.
Belfast
It is yet unclear what part Belfast plays in the drama, but filming for the show started there.
The trailer shows Paul Mescal's character Sean driving Ophelia, so perhaps he drives her from Belfast to Donegal.
Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital and is best known for being the birthplace of the Titanic.
The House of Knockdara
It is not known where Michaell's house is. We know it is set in a small fictional town in Donegal called Knockdara.
There is a Knockdara Park in Londonderry, where creator Lisa McGee is from, so it is possible that this inspired the name.
While speaking to What'sOnTV, Emily Reid said of the house: "The house is like a character in itself – it’s the strangest, kookiest place!"
She added: "There was definitely, for me, some strange energy in that house – which was great. It meant you didn’t really have to do anything imaginatively as an actor, it was all sort of done for you!”
