“Knives Out” was filmed primarily in and around suburban Boston, Massachusetts, using a mix of real New England towns and historic mansions.

Main filming locations

  • The movie was largely shot in several Massachusetts towns around Boston, including Maynard, Natick, Waltham, Marlborough, Medfield, Easton, and Wellesley.
  • Principal photography took place in late 2018, with location filming centered on the Greater Boston area rather than on a soundstage-heavy production.

The Thrombey mansion

  • The iconic Thrombey family mansion exterior is a private Gothic Revival–style estate outside Boston, in the Natick area, whose exact address is kept confidential by the production.
  • Interior mansion scenes, including the famous library, were filmed at the historic Ames Mansion in Borderland State Park in Sharon/Easton, Massachusetts.

Other notable spots

  • The car‑chase and town sequences were shot across Maynard and downtown Natick, with additional material in Waltham’s alleys and Marlborough’s Maple Street area.
  • Some institutional and hospital‑type exteriors used Medfield State Hospital and other state-owned facilities in Marlborough, giving the film its distinctive New England atmosphere.
