Carnival Row is actually the name of a neighborhood and a sort of ghetto in The Burgue (rivals of The Pact), where many Fae (all the non-human folks) have found refuge.
The series co-stars Orlando Bloom as inspector Rycroft Philostrate and Cara Delevingne as fae Vignette Stonemoss. The main cast is completed by Tamzin Merchant playing Imogen Spurnrose and David Gyasi performing the wealthy faun Agreus Astrayon.
Welcome to the best guide to all the filming locations of Carnival Row, in order of appearance. You’ll find the new season two updates below in the report.
Carnival Row filming locations
The Burgue is a steampunk neo-Victorian metropolis, located in the north of the Mesogeo continent.
