The Netflix thriller, The Beast in Me, follows the story of a grieving author, Aggie Wiggs (played by Claire Danes), who is dealing with the tragic loss of her young son. After a harrowing event tears her and her ex-wife apart, she finds herself living alone.

However, her life takes an unexpected turn when a new neighbour, Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys), moves into a stunning manor house across the street. Set against the backdrop of beautiful forests, green spaces, and streets lined with striking homes, the series offers a visual treat to its viewers.

The filming locations for The Beast in Me are as intriguing as the plot itself. The series was primarily filmed in Red Bank, a borough located in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Known for its picturesque location along the Navesink River, the borough has been featured in numerous other films and TV shows. Additional scenes were shot in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Specific filming locations included Tamaques Park in New Jersey, along with other popular spots such as Branch Brook Park, 33 Washington Street, and 98 Frelinghuysen Avenue.

Other locations included a warehouse on Mulberry Street, Poinier Street, Independence Park, Halsey Street, National Newark Building Broad Street, Unique Design Menswear in Branford Place, and 289 Washington Street.

According to The Cinemaholic, an entire block in East and West Front Street underwent a transformation for the series. They reported: "The entire block was transformed into a film set, with JR's restaurant at 17 West Front Street redressed as Roberto's Pizzeria for the series.

"The 26 West On The Navesink, located at 26 West Front Street, also features in a few scenes. In addition, the Molly Pitcher Inn, situated at 88 Riverside Avenue, served as yet another prominent production location."

The series was filmed in the township of Belleville, with Carewell Health Medical Center and Essex County Airport also serving as locations.

The Beast In Me was shot from September 2024 to late January 2025.
