Season 2 tells a completely new story, centred on a family grieving a loss whose lives are upturned by a mysterious stranger who claims to have a shocking connection with them.<\/p>\n
Due to the change-up, that means this new season also features some entirely different settings, and viewers might find themselves wondering just where it was shot if they\u2019re planning their next day trip.<\/p>\n
So just where was The Pact season 2 filmed? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n

The new season was a commission between BBC Drama and BBC Wales.<\/p>\n
The show\u2019s writer Pete McTighe said one of the reasons he cast star Rakie Ayola, the only returning cast member from season 1 in a new role, was that she \u201cis Welsh, and she was able to bring the authenticity to the story that we needed\u201d.<\/p>\n
McTighe said that the show\u2019s coastal setting \u201cwas important, mainly as a contrast to series one\u201d.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cThe environment for me is always a character. It\u2019s really important on the page that there\u2019s that sense of place, and the Welsh coastline really gave us that. There\u2019s something beautiful but also wistful and almost tragic about the Welsh coast. There is this mysticism and peace to it but then it also has this intense power and danger.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a really great combination. There are lots of scenes that are shot on the beach and along the cliffs. We really took advantage of that as much as we could and because we were so lucky with the weather it looks fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Filming also took place at Rest Bay in Porthcawl.<\/p>\n
Ayola told WhatToWatch.com<\/a>: \u201cI grew up in Ely, which is West Cardiff, and when I was a kid, we would go to Barry Island a lot, but we never made it down to Penarth, which is just a few miles further down the road.<\/p>\n\u201cWe filmed a lot of this in Penarth and Penarth pier, which is lovely and I never knew it existed. Working there was a real eye-opener for me and it filled me with joy, but also sadness, because I realised it could have been my childhood. I don\u2019t know why my parents didn\u2019t take us there more when we were kids!\u201d<\/p>
Ayola\u2019s character Christine lives in a house at Llantwit Major on the Bristol Channel coast. McTighe spoke about the importance of the location: \u201cOn the page and in my head it was this isolated house on the coast, which sounds easy to write and easy to find, but of course it turned out not to be. Our locations people did an incredible job tracking that down.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat house is like a private refuge, this atmospheric, mysterious, slightly claustrophobic sanctuary. It\u2019s almost like something from a ghost story, which is appropriate because the family is kind of haunted in a way by what has happened to one of their own. They pulled a rabbit out of the hat when they found that house. It\u2019s exactly what was in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Will and Samantha\u2019s house was filmed at Marine Drive in Barry, while Megan\u2019s wedding and scenes at Liam\u2019s grave were both shot at Margam Park in Port Talbot.<\/p>\n
