Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling 2019 novel of the same name, the musical miniseries stars Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough, and Sam Claflin.

After wrapping up filming in Los Angeles (the book’s primary setting), production on the show moved to the New Orleans area, which, according to Conde Nast Traveler, “stood in for the rest of the U.S.” Though filming stretched as far north as Hammond and Baton Rouge, some of the show’s most epic scenes were brought to life in New Orleans.

If you look closely, you’ll see other New Orleans landmarks pop up throughout the 10-episode miniseries. As The Advocate It is noted that Joy Theater appears on episode 7, Lakefront Airport appears on episode 9, and both The Roosevelt Hotel (and the historic Saenger Theatre) appear in episode 10.
