Secrets in the Marriage Filming Locations
Originally titled ‘My Husband, The Narcissist,’ ‘Secrets in the Marriage’ was filmed entirely in Little Rock, Arkansas. Principal photography likely took place for a few weeks in the Fall of 2022. Arkansas is a landlocked state in the South Central region of the country. It is well-known for its lakes, rivers, and hot springs, as well as severe weather patterns, frequent storms, production of rice and chicken, rich folk music heritage, and the nation’s sole operating diamond mine. Now that we have some idea of when the film was shot, let’s learn more about the shooting locations.
Little Rock, Arkansas
Little Rock, Arkansas, serves as the primary filming location of this Nigel Thomas directorial. The origin of the capital city of Arkansas dates back many centuries. The town got its name from a river rock formation dubbed “Little Rock” by French explorer Jean-Baptiste Bénard de la Harpe in 1722. Little Rock is a central hub for culture, commerce, politics, and transportation in Arkansas and the South.
Along with hiking, boating, and other outdoor activities, Little Rock is home to several cultural organizations, including the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, and the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center.
Little Rock’s historical landmarks, such as Little Rock Central High School, historic neighborhoods like the Quapaw Quarter, and history museums provide access to the city’s past. Such picturesque settings have made Little Rock a favorite spot for many filmmakers to shoot their projects. Apart from ‘Secrets in the Marriage,’ the productions, ‘Gone With the Wind,’ ‘Designing Women,’ and ‘Mississippi Grind,’ were filmed in the city as well.
