Where is Ridley filmed?

ITV said that the show was filmed across Northern England.

It began filming in Todmorden Wind Farm near Rossendale, Lancashire in January 2022.

In April 2022, The Bolton News reported that filming had taken place on Le Mans Crescent in the town centre, and that people had been seen on the street dressed as barristers.

Speaking about his role to ITV, Adrian Dunbar said: "A lot of it is going to be very familiar - me being a cop. It's set against this great Lancashire back-drop.

"I really loved going back to Manchester for the first time in a long time - it's got a good buzz about it."

Dunbar plays retired Detective Inspector Alex Ridley in the series.

Bronagh Waugh, whom fans will recognise from crime series The Fall, stars as his partner DI Carol Farman in the show,
