Love Again, starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan, revolves around newfound love after a devastating loss – where was the movie filmed?

Summary

• Love Again, a romantic comedy starring Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan, follows a woman finding love again after her fiancé's death.
• Despite being set in New York City, most of the film's scenes were filmed in London, primarily in Hackney.
• The movie also filmed scenes in Swale, Kent, and the United States, although specific filming locations in the US were not specified.

Love Again tells the story of a woman finding love again (as the title suggests) following the death of her fiancé, and while the film's backdrop is New York City, the movie was not solely filmed within the confines of the metropolitan area. The 2023 romantic comedy stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Mira Ray and Sam Heughan as Rob Burns, an unlikely match who strike up a connection following an accidental text exchange. Mira texted her fiancé's old number, obviously thinking her messages would go unanswered, and was surprised when Rob texted her back.

The rest of the cast of Love Again includes Celine Dion, Nick Jonas, Sofia Barclay, Russell Tovey, Lydia West, Steve Oram, Omid Djalili, Celia Imrie, and Arinzé Kene. The stars and the crew members traveled back and forth between two countries (and continents) from October 2020 to early 2021 to get all the shots needed for the film. The first stop on their list was the Big Smoke before moving stateside.

Hackney, London, England

A2z Filming Location reported that Love Again's production primarily took place in the borough of Hackney in London, England. Even though the movie's setting was technically New York City, a majority of its scenes were filmed in London. One particular English location that can be spotted in the film is the Hackney Empire Theatre, which provided the backdrop of Mira and Rob's first meeting. The scenes were shot inside and outside the theater on Mare Street. So after seeing Love Again, fans can visit the Hackney Empire Theatre and recognize its features, as seen in the movie. Additionally, Florfield Road in Hackney was a significant filming location.

Swale, Kent, England

Some of Love Again's filming spots are unknown, but the Kent Film Office revealed that the movie, directed by James C. Strouse, filmed one scene in the borough of Swale in Kent, England. The cast and crew shot a sequence at Home Farm, a house containing features of a suburban American residence, making it a popular filming destination in the United Kingdom. The audience can spot Home Farm toward the beginning of Love Again shortly following Mira's fiancé's death. Mira moves back home with her parents into the house known as Home Farm in Kent, England, before returning to New York City.

United States

Since Love Again takes place in New York City in the United States, it would only make sense for the production team to film a handful of scenes there. Filming was scheduled to take place in the United States following the completion of production in the United Kingdom. However, reports did not specify the filming locations in the country. It might be safe to say that the cast and crew shot sequences in New York City (especially exterior stock footage of the Big Apple) since that is Love Again's setting.
