Where was All Her Fault filmed? The house and (almost) all the locations in Chicago

Posted by

Although it is set in Chicago, All Her Fault was primarily filmed in and around Melbourne, Australia.

The series is based on the bestselling novel by Andrea Mara, which was originally set in Dublin, Ireland.

All Her Fault Australia

Most of the series was filmed in Australia because production costs are lower, tax incentives are generous, and Melbourne’s suburbs can convincingly double as American neighbourhoods.

Here is our spoiler-free guide to all the filming locations of All Her Fault. You'll find the locations in order of first appearance.


The All Her Fault Chicago Locations

All Her Fault Location
There are a few scenes filmed in Chicago, apart from the establishing shots.

In the first episode, Jenny is seen walking near the famous Bean sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

TAG
In the series, the Irvines live in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburban village just north of Chicago, located along the western shore of Lake Michigan.

This establishing shot shows the Bahá’í House of Worship, a stunning white-domed temple known for its intricate lace-like architecture.

This global religion, founded in the 19th century in Persia (modern-day Iran), teaches the unity of all religions and humanity, the equality of men and women, among other peaceful principles.

All Her Fault house

All Her Fault house
The Irvines' house is a large residence in Red Hill South on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, roughly 50 miles (80 km) south of Melbourne.

This luxurious five-bedroom mansion has a spectacular infinity pool, a spa, a tennis court, and even a small soccer field, although almost none of them are shown in the series.

Bishop’s Academy Chicago
The Saltwater Community Centre in Point Cook, just outside Melbourne, served as Bishop’s Academy, where Marissa and Peter’s son, Milo, attends school.

Clark Street Bridge
Another of the few scenes filmed on location in Chicago features Jenny (Dakota Fanning) at the iconic Chicago Riverwalk, specifically on the Clark Street Bridge.

Yugen Dining
The restaurant in the first episode is the Yugen Dining, located under Melbourne’s Capitol Grand building in South Yarra.

The venue is notable for its dramatic design, with six-metre ceilings, a striking chandelier, and a modern Asian-fusion menu that leans heavily on premium Japanese-style cuisine.

All Her Fault Kaminskis house
The Kaminskis' house is even more impressive than the Irvines' mansion.

Completed in 2018, the Hawthorn House centres on two heavily textured concrete ‘shrouds’, which appear often in the series, linked by a walkway and a courtyard garden.

This 680 m² home also incorporates modern, sustainability-focused features, including passive solar design, concrete thermal mass, and hydronically heated floors.

All Her Fault Chicago
The press conference in the second episode was filmed at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) in South Wharf.

Chicago’s renowned Wrigley Building tower was CGI'd into the scene, creating the illusion that it takes place in New Eastside, east of the Loop and north of Millennium Park.

Port Phillip Bay coastline
The scene set three weeks earlier appears to take place on the shore of Lake Michigan, but it was likely filmed on one of the beaches in the Bayside area along the Port Phillip Bay coastline, such as Brighton Beach.

Melbourne’s skyline was digitally replaced with Chicago’s.

Mo's malted milkshakes
This scene in Ms Garcia’s house was filmed in one of the studios on Wando Grove in St Kilda East.

LH Rooftop restaurant
At the end of the second episode, Peter is on a call at the LH Rooftop restaurant, located atop the LondonHouse Chicago hotel.

National Australia Bank Headquarters
Jenny’s office building with crossed walkways in the third episode is actually the interior of the National Australia Bank Headquarters in Docklands, Melbourne.

The establishing shot, however, shows her on the Chicago “L” train in the city’s downtown area, known as the Loop.

Point Ormond Lookout in Elwood
The community gathering in a park by the lake to discuss the boy’s disappearance was filmed at the Point Ormond Lookout in Elwood.

In this shot, it is even clearer that the Chicago skyline was added via CGI.

E-Lakeside gas station
The E-Lakeside gas station in the fourth episode was filmed at an old BP servo near the village of Carlsruhe, located about 90 km (55 miles) northwest of Melbourne.

Shoreline Motel
This building for rent in the South Side Shore is located on Southey Street in Elwood.

Elwood is a laid-back bayside suburb just south of St Kilda, known for its leafy residential streets and Art Deco apartment blocks.

Royston Hotel in Richmond
The Royston bar was filmed at the Royston Hotel in Richmond, a cozy local pub.

In Australian pub tradition, many establishments are called “hotels,” even if they don’t offer rooms, as is the case here.
