The filming of the mini-series based on Agatha Christie's novel "Towards Zero" took place in several picturesque locations in the UK. The main filming was carried out in the Solent area, which is located between the Hampshire coast and the Isle of Wight. This region is known for its scenic landscapes and coastal views, which perfectly match the setting of Agatha Christie's novel. Scenes were also shot on the Isle of Wight, a popular tourist destination due to its natural beauty and historical landmarks. The use of these locations helped create the atmosphere of a coastal estate where the main action of the series unfolds. The choice of these locations was driven by the need to recreate the 1930s setting of the novel. As a result, the filmmakers managed to create an authentic and nostalgic atmosphere consistent with the style of classic detective stories.
