This article discusses “Where was the Netflix film The Stranger (2022) filmed” and may contain minor plot references.

One of the latest films from Netflix is The Stranger. Filmed entirely in Australia, it looks set to have a certain down under vibe to it. But before it airs on Netflix, let’s speculate on what the filming locations could mean. Could any of the locations provide a big clue as to where the plot could go? Or will it purely just be guesswork from here? Read the below breakdown to find out. Furthermore, as the film, not to be confused with the 2020 series, is about two men who meet on a plane and form a friendship with one of the new friends tired of his life of work and crime, could this shed a few clues as to what the locations could mean?

Where was the Netflix film The Stranger (2022) filmed – a breakdown of locations

Adelaide Studios, 226 Fullarton Road, Glenside, South Australia, Australia

Firstly, this is a studio location. So this could literally be anything. Will the studio be designed to resemble a particular city/object/location? Will it mean that the scenes from the studio are going to be set outside or inside? Who knows. Based on some guesswork, the plane scenes could have been filmed in the location. Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine.

South Australia, Australia

Still not very specific, but more specific than the last location. South Australia is massive. But there’s a lot of outback. Will there be some scenes where the two friends are wandering among the outback? Will they be chased down by criminals? Or will they simply reflect on life while wandering in the heat? Will they be stuck in life-threatening conditions? However, maybe the scenes from South Australia are going to be filmed in a more populated area. Will we see plenty of action? Considering it’s a crime-thriller film, it’s likely. Maybe, as a result of the plot, the two friends will commit crimes in South Australia.

Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia, the state’s largest city, and the fifth-most populous city in Australia. So, maybe this is a further suggestion that the film will take place in a more populated area, and therefore, involve a higher number of characters. Will there be revenge killings? Or will there be several crimes committed in this city?

Finally, this is another studio location. Without knowing exactly what this film is about, it makes it hard to predict what could film in the studio. One suggestion could be that the film could go full circle and include a scene similar to how the film opens. Or could it even include some underwater scenes? Obviously, it’s quite dangerous to film in open water, so maybe the film decided to film water scenes in studios. What do you think?
