Did you notice the grand location? <\/p>
Eagle-eyed viewers of Fool Me Once have spotted that the brand new Netflix<\/a> thriller uses the same country manor as BBC period drama Peaky Blinders<\/a>.<\/p>\n The series, which is based on a novel by Harlan Coben<\/a>, currently ranks as the number one TV programme on Netflix UK, with a homegrown cast that includes Michelle Keegan, Richard Armitage and Joanna Lumley.<\/p>\n The premise concerns a widow who is shocked to discover evidence that her thought-dead husband might actually be alive, sending her on a journey that uncovers some jaw-dropping truths.<\/p>\n One of the key locations in Fool Me Once<\/a> is the vast estate that Judith Birkett (Lumley) calls home, which in reality is Arley Hall, Cheshire, belonging to Viscount Ashbrook and his family.<\/p> Producer Jessica Taylor told Manchester Evening News<\/a>: \u201cBecause the estate is so varied \u2013 it is also home to a chapel, a clock tower, an organic working farm and beautiful manicured gardens with a kitchen garden to boot \u2013 much of it appears in Fool Me Once without you realising it.\u201d<\/p>\n However, this isn\u2019t the first show to utilise the idyllic filming location, with the BBC\u2019s acclaimed Peaky Blinders<\/a> also visiting across its multi-season run, where Arley Hall became the Warwickshire home of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy).<\/p>\n As more and more viewers began to make the connection, Netflix UK shared an image on Instagram<\/a> comparing the two show\u2019s depiction of Arley Hall, with a similar post being shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Den of Geek<\/a>.<\/p>\n Do the Burketts in #FoolMeOnce<\/a> know they’re living in Tommy Shelby’s house? \ud83e\udd14 pic.twitter.com\/73KAabOpbH<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Den Of Geek UK (@denofgeek) January 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
