ITV's Playing Nice Filmed in Cornwall

The upcoming ITV psychological thriller 'Playing Nice' explores the harrowing implications of two couples discovering their toddlers were switched at birth, all set against the stunning backdrop of Cornwall. Adapted from JP Delaney's best-selling novel, the series features actors James Norton and Niamh Algar among others, tackling themes of parenthood, class, and nature vs. nurture. Filming took place in various picturesque locations across Cornwall, including Mawgan Porth Beach for surfing scenes, with Norton highlighting the area's beauty as intrinsic to the series. Padstow, known for its scenic charm and vibrant food scene, has been noted as one of the UK's most expensive seaside towns, reflecting its desirability for homebuyers. The show is set to air its first episode on January 5, 2024, at 9 PM on ITV 1, with the complete series available on ITVX. The production team opted for Cornwall to create a distinctive visual experience, moving away from the original London setting of the book.
