Production visited Kent to film VFX plate shots at the Port of Ramsgate for Episode 5, as well as prison scenes at The Citadel for Episode 7.

The Port of Ramsgate is set on 32 acres of dedicated port land and is often used as a ‘stand-in’ for film and TV as the Port of Dover. Other productions that have filmed here include Liaison (2023), The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself (2022) and Jagame Thandhiram (2021).

The Citadel, located on Dover’s Western Heights, was constructed in the late 1700s as a port of defence during the Napoleonic war and has since been used for a variety of purposes, including a borstal, prison and as barracks during both World Wars. Given its rich history and architecture from a wide range of time periods, The Citadel is a popular filming location, having also played host to The Buckingham Murders (2024), Kraven the Hunter (2024) and Whitstable Pearl (2021-2022).

Say Nothing (2024) was released on Disney+ on Thursday 14th November 2024.
