Where was Hulu's psychological thriller 'Saint X' filmed?

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hulu’s new psychological thriller, ‘Saint X’ debuted on April 26, 2023, with three back-to-back episodes, laying the groundwork for the next five episodes to entertain and prosper. At the get-go, ‘Saint X’ is a murder mystery of a young woman who, while vacationing with her parents on an idyllic Caribbean island, is raped and then later found murdered.

The show is adapted from the novel of the same name by Alexis Schaitkin and is developed by Leila Gerstein for Hulu. Despite its harrowing outline, the show’s visuals are scenic to a great extent and give off a cool impression that is easy on the eyes of the viewers. The setting of a beach in the show and the small islands surrounding it add a layer of calm to an otherwise grueling mystery that culminates in the murder of a 19-year-old girl named Alison Thomas. In ‘Saint X,’ the sky is mostly painted blue with bright sunshine, which tries its best to offer a respite from the dark alleys of a murder mystery.

What is 'Saint X' about?

The official plot of 'Saint X' on the Hulu website reads, "The series, which is told via multiple timelines, explores and upends the girl-gone-missing genre as it explores how a young woman's mysterious death during an idyllic Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that eventually pulls her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth." In the first three episodes, the story slowly unravels to a point where we see Alison, the victim, interacting with different characters on the beach resort in the past, while in the present timeline, her sister, Emily Thomas, searches for answers about her sister’s murder.

Where was 'Saint X' shot?

The show ‘Saint X’ takes place on a fictional Caribbean island where Alison and her family decide to vacation for a while. However, the real identity of the place where the show is shot is mostly in the Dominican Republic, a small, blissful nation known for its lush beaches and exquisite resorts. The show, which is split into two timelines, sees most of the flashbacks take place at the resort in the Dominican Republic, while the present timeline, where Emily is grinding hard to find the truth behind her sister’s murder, takes place in Brooklyn, New York. In the upcoming episodes, the two locations—the Dominican Republic and New York will continue to feature since the story slowly unravels itself in both timelines.

‘Saint X’ airs every Wednesday exclusively on Hulu.
