The Sinner season 3 filming locations: Where was the Netflix drama filmed?

IF you’re seeking a new chilling thriller to watch, look no further than Sinner’s season three.

The dark new mystery facing Detective Ambrose takes place in a New York suburb, with dramatic scenes taking place in the city itself.

Where was The Sinner season 3 filmed?

East 93rd Street 

Jamie, played by Matt Bomer, is a teacher at a private New York school known as “Briarton School” in the series.

The scenes at the school were actually filmed at New York’s Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, on East 93rd Street.

The site is a popular filming location and was used on Sky series The Undoing as the Reardon School and on massively popular teen series Gossip Girl.

STK restaurant

The fictional “Berti Hotel” and modern “Sabbiato” restaurant where Jamie and Nick meet for an eventful dinner was actually filmed at STK Midtown Steakhouse in Manhattan.

The luxe restaurant was also featured in several scenes of The Politician.

Queens, New York

The dramatic car chase between Jamie and Ambrose was filmed in New York.

Observant viewers recognised the location as 30th Street & 47th Avenue in Queens, New York.

The City College of New York

Flashback scenes to Jamie’s old university days were filmed on location at The City College of New York.

The City College of New York is America’s largest urban university and boasts a gothic-looking exterior.

Hartsdale

Many scenes of the Sinner are set in the fictional town of Dorchester, New York.

In reality, these scenes were filmed in the suburb of Hartsdale, in Greenburgh, Westchester County.

Back when crew were filming in 2019, some eagle-eyed Hartsdale residents noticed that Hartsdale train station had been given a makeover, with a sign reading “Dorchester.”

Valhalla, New York

Scenes at the fictional “Dorchester Police Department” were shot at the Mt. Pleasant Justice Court building.

The white concrete building can be found in Valhalla, Westchester County.

How can I watch The Sinner?

The Sinner season three is available to stream on Netflix.

Both other seasons are also available to watch on the streaming platform.

Each series has eight episodes and each episode is 45 minutes in length.

Do I have to watch The Sinner in order?

In short, no, you don’t need to have watched the previous series of The Sinner.

The show is an anthology series, meaning that each season is an isolated story. They are united by the main character, Detective Harry Ambrose.

Those who have watched all three seasons will know that his character is developed over the course of the series, and we learn more about his family life as the show goes on.

In this sense, it may be helpful to watch episode one and two.

Ambrose actor Bill Pullman has seen his character evolve.

He said: “In the second season, there was his inability to contain his anger as he risks being more vulnerable to other people. He’s trying to keep himself from going off of the rails.”

Originally, The Sinner was only meant to be an eight-episode miniseries, but it was so popular that producers decided to make more seasons.
