Mr Inbetween is one of the great modern crime dramas, and part of its power is how ordinary its world looks: Ray Shoesmith does terrible things between school runs and barbecues, all against the sunny, unremarkable backdrop of suburban Sydney. This is an Australian show, filmed in the city it’s set in.
Where was Mr Inbetween filmed?
Mr Inbetween was shot in Sydney, Australia. The series uses the real city and its suburbs – the CBD, parks and eastern-suburbs streets – to ground its hitman’s double life in an everyday Australian setting.
That authenticity is the point: rather than a stylised underworld, the show films Ray’s Sydney as the plain, sun-bleached place it is, which makes the violence land all the harder.
Every Mr Inbetween location, explained
Sydney CBD – Pitt Street Mall
The city centre appears through spots like Pitt Street Mall, the busy pedestrian shopping strip in the heart of the Sydney CBD.
Centennial Park – the eastern suburbs
The green expanse of Centennial Park in Sydney’s eastern suburbs features among the outdoor scenes, part of the ordinary, liveable city the show inhabits.
Suburban Sydney
Much of the series plays out in unshowy suburban streets, homes and venues around Sydney – the school gates, pubs and backyards that make Ray’s world feel so recognisably normal.
Planning a visit
Sydney is the whole canvas: Pitt Street Mall sits in the middle of the CBD, and Centennial Park is one of the city’s best green spaces, an easy walk or ride from the eastern-suburbs neighbourhoods where much of the show is set.
