Where was the Harlan Coben Netflix series filming in Liverpool?
According to the Liverpool Echo, Faulkner Street was taken over today (July 21) for production. Scenes were shot outside Papillon, on the corner of Faulkner Street and Hope Street in the Georgian Quarter.
Echo photographers documented the set takeover. Papillon was closed during filming and due to open at 1pm. There were no signs suggesting the road itself was closed to traffic.
Liverpool has built a reputation as a popular location for film crews. The Echo notes that another recent Coben hit, Run Away, filmed scenes at Minna on Lark Lane before this latest production arrived.

The Woods is based on Harlan Coben's 2007 novel of the same name and has been reshaped as an eight-episode limited series written by Danny Brocklehurst. It follows the success of earlier Netflix adaptations of his work, including Fool Me Once and, most recently, Run Away.
Tom Bateman and Michelle Keegan are among the famous faces involved, with Mandeep Dhillon and Pearce Quigley also starring. Keegan has previously appeared in a Harlan Coben series, adding continuity for fans of the author's screen adaptations.
