The Prime Video series Scarpetta was filmed primarily in and around Nashville, Tennessee , which doubles on screen for several East Coast cities like Richmond (Virginia), Charleston (South Carolina), Miami (Florida), and 1970s New Jersey.

Here’s the quick scoop on the main Scarpetta filming locations:

  • Nashville, Tennessee – Core production base and main city standing in for multiple locations.
  • Mount Olivet Funeral Home & Cemetery (Nashville) – Used for key forensic and cemetery scenes.
  • Old Hickory Village (eastern Davidson County, TN) – Doubled as 1970s New Jersey for flashbacks.
  • Berry Hill / 100 Oaks Mall area (Nashville) – Hosted studio-style interiors like labs, offices, and police spaces in converted commercial/warehouse spaces.
  • Donelson neighborhood (Music Valley Drive area, Nashville) – Additional commercial and interior shooting spots.
  • Germantown (Nashville) – Used for Italian market and family-related scenes to match Kay Scarpetta’s Italian‑American background.
  • Spring Hill, Tennessee (south of Nashville) – Suburban residential exteriors and neighborhood scenes.

Although the story ranges across the East Coast, season 1 was shot almost entirely in Tennessee, with Nashville’s varied neighborhoods and nearby towns dressed to look like other cities.
