You can’t have a show called After the Flood without water. And boy, did they find it.
They filmed near Kinder Reservoir. It’s huge, dark, and perfectly ominous.
That scene where the water is rising? That’s very real. The reservoir is a beast.

They also used the River Goyt for those swirling, flood-prone shots. It’s a pretty river. Very dramatic. Very wet.
I bet the camera crew slipped in the mud constantly. Heroes, honestly.
A Quick Trip to Manchester
Not everything is rural. The city scenes? Those are Manchester.
You’ll spot the Northern Quarter if you look close. It’s where the “gritty” stuff happens.
It’s a nice contrast. You go from sheep pastures to city streets in one cut.
It reminds you that floods don’t care about postcodes. They hit everyone.
