Secret Love Triangle Filming Locations
‘Secret Love Triangle’ has very little information regarding its production available. This is probably due to the filming process being kept secretive if it was done around the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which lasted between July and November of 2023. Principal photography likely took place around Los Angeles and in parts of California.
Los Angeles, California
The Lifetime murder mystery likely saw its film crew set up shop for shooting in and around the bustling metropolitan area of Los Angeles. Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is the epicenter of Hollywood production, with its numerous studios and backlots as well as natural shooting locations ranging from vibrant cityscapes to serene suburbs. With its historic landmarks like the Hollywood sign, Sunset Boulevard, and the enigmatic allure of neighborhoods such as Beverly Hills and Downtown LA, the city presents filmmakers with a myriad of atmospheric locations suitable for just about any genre of movie. Additionally, the city’s diverse population and cultural richness provide an authentic backdrop for weaving intricate and compelling narratives.
Renowned for its entertainment industry infrastructure, talented professionals, and an array of settings, Los Angeles continues to allure filmmakers seeking to immerse audiences in suspenseful murder mysteries. Its blend of urban sophistication, cultural diversity, and iconic landmarks solidify its status as a prime filming location for gripping and enigmatic storytelling.

Confidential,’ ‘Se7en,’ ‘Promising Young Woman,’ and ‘Gone Girl.’
