Talking about shooting in the actual town that the story is set in, Innocent 2's executive producer Jamie Gwilt said "We had some fabulous actors and a story set in an attractive world on the south coast. This time we have the Lake District, which is a great place to set a story like this. It’s achingly beautiful and yet it’s a wild and unpredictable landscape." According to the outlet, the series was shot in the wild open countryside to denote that though Sally is free she feels alone. Talking about shooting in a beautiful open space like this, lead star Katherine Kelly said: “With it being set in the Lake District it was really helpful visually because she’s outside a lot.
