Falling on Channel 4 is Adolescence creator Jack Thorne’s “first ever love story”.
Falling premieres on Channel 4 tonight with fans eager to know where the romantic drama was shot. Channel 4’s Falling delves into the forbidden love story of nun Anna and Catholic priest David , forcing them to wrestle with their vows and relationship with God.
The six-part series is not only brought to life by an all-star cast but by its award-winning creator Jack Thorne, famed for writing Adolescence on Netflix. Channel 4 Falling filming locations Filming for Falling on Channel 4 primarily took place in Bristol, Wales, specifically Cardiff, and the wider South Wales region. Shooting for the new series reportedly began in April 2025 and continued throughout the year.
Bristol served as a key location as much of David’s storyline within the local community meant Falling was shot across residential districts and inner city areas. 4Filming reported that community centres and neighbourhood streets were used to portray his work in different environments. Channel 4’s official production also talks about his connection to the “Bristol community that surrounds it”.
On the other hand, Cardiff and the surrounding parts of South Wales were also heavily used during filming, particularly to do with Anna’s life in the convent. 4Filming adds: “Several historic properties and quiet religious-style locations around the city reportedly doubled as the secluded convent where Anna has spent most of her adult life. ” Production also took place at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, one of the largest film and television studios in England.
It’s been reported that interior sets for the convent, rectory and other indoor scenes were shot here. The Bottle Yard Studios is no stranger when it comes to hit series either with other popular shows like Poldark, Sherlock, The Buccaneers and Wolf Hall, also filmed at this location. Talking about Falling ahead of its premiere, Thorne said: “I never thought I’d write a love story, but I am very excited to be making one with the brilliant Peter Hoar.
“We feel so lucky we have persuaded the mighty Keeley Hawes, the brilliant Paapa Essiedu and the most amazing company of actors to come make this with us, The Forge and Channel 4. ” Falling premieres on Tuesday, May 19, at 9pm on Channel 4.
