Where was Fatal Seduction shot? Revisiting the key filming location of the Netflix series

Fatal Seduction marks one of the most successful South African productions on Netflix. The series has become famous for its thrilling storyline and intimate scenes. The show recently returned with its second season, which has once again piqued the audience's interest.

It revolves around Nandi Mahlati, a married woman who goes away on a weekend trip and gets into a steamy affair with a charming man. This turns her life upside down.

The series features some breathtaking visuals, which make one wonder where the production crew found the perfect filming locations. Here are all the details about where Fatal Seduction was filmed.

Where was Fatal Seduction filmed?

Fatal Seduction was entirely filmed in Cape Town, the capital of South Africa. The production crew utilized various spots in the city to shoot both indoor and outdoor sequences. Cape Town is a hub for filming where most South African movies and shows are shot, and hence, it makes sense that the Netflix thriller’s team chose the city as their base location.

Some prominent locations from the city that can be spotted in the series include Two Oceans Aquarium and Chapman’s Peak. Located at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the Two Oceans Aquarium displays sea life from both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. On the other hand, Chapman’s Peak is a mountain that features a beautiful coastal road often called one of the most scenic drives in the world.

Other spots in the city where Fatal Seduction was shot include Table Mountain, one of the most famous landmarks in Cape Town. The flat-top mountain is part of a natural park and is a popular tourist destination. It is known for its unique plant species.

Some scenes of the show were also taped at Signal Hill, another flat-top mountain that offers stunning views of the city and the ocean. At the same time, there are various film studios situated in Cape Town, which could have been utilized for shooting indoor scenes of the series.

Cape Town is considered an ideal place for filming as it has the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern architecture. There are beaches, mountains, and harbors all in one region, which gives the filmmakers an option to experiment with their projects' backdrops. The city has also served as a filming location for movies and shows like Outlander, Novocaine, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Wheel of Time, Blood Diamond, Tomb Raider, and Raised by Wolves.

Fatal Seduction has aired two seasons so far and stars Kgomotso Christopher as Nandi Mahlati, Prince Grootboom as Jacob Tau, Nat Ramabulana as Vuyo Mahlati, Thapelo Mokoena as Leonard Mahlati, Ngele Ramulondi as Zinhle Mahlati, and Lunathi Mampofu as Brenda Grootboom. The official synopsis of the show reads:

“During a fateful weekend away, a married woman falls into a passionate affair with a younger man — but when the romance ends in tragedy, she begins to question the truth about those closest to her."

Fatal Seduction Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Netflix.
