What Makes the Series Special
From the Writers of Midsomer Murders
Creators Rachel Cuperman and Sally Griffiths bring that same fondness for close-knit community secrets to a completely different setting.
Umbria as a Real Presence
Filmed on location in Umbria and Lazio, the series leans into the region's hill towns and countryside as much as its mysteries.
A True UK-Italy Co-Production
Route 24 produces alongside Italian production partner Cattleya, giving the series a genuinely bicultural feel rather than a British show simply shot abroad.
Setting and Filming Locations
Panicale and the Umbrian Hills
Sylvia's new home is set around Panicale, a hill town in Italy's Umbria region. Season 2 expanded filming into parts of the neighboring Lazio region as well.
