Is Our Kind of People filmed in Martha’s Vineyard?
By Sabrina Reed
Fox‘s new drama series Our Kind of People is set in the Black affluent community of Oak Bluffs. Located in Martha’s Vineyard, the residents of the Bluffs live lavish lifestyles.
There’s a certain image they all maintain paired with the legacy their families have built over decades, in some cases, over a century. They’re a tight-knit community, one that isn’t quite as welcome to outsiders or new money for that matter.
Though Angela Vaughn’s recent move to the Bluffs with her daughter, Nikki, and Aunt Piggy sends the dynamics of the Bluffs in a tailspin not because she’s new but due to a past that carries a scandal big enough to blow up a prominent family’s position as the leaders of this particular pack.
As Angela carves out a space for herself in this community, whether Leah Franklin Dupont or her father Teddy Franklin want her to or not, the audience is treated to the beauty of the Bluffs. From the beach to the luscious landscape to its structures, Our Kind of People uses its setting to build the lives of its characters.
However, the way TV magic sets up a world can deceive viewers when it comes to the actual filming location of a show. Was Our Kind of People filmed in Martha’s Vineyard? Here’s what we know!
Where is Our Kind of People filmed?
It may come as a surprise to audience members who aren’t familiar with Wilmington, North Carolina but, according to Distractify, the TV famous shooting location is the real home of Our Kind of People, not Massachusetts.
Fans of Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill know that the southern town has had a place in the television world for decades.
Obviously, the vibe and the aesthetic of Our Kind of People runs counter to both modern classics as they were striving for the backdrop of a small town. This Fox drama is going for opulence and monied environments. Hence the inclusion of Cape Fear Country Club, North Carolina’s oldest country club.
Still, regardless of the show’s real filming location, the Bluffs are picturesque and depicted in a manner that conveys the history and legacy Our Kind of People is striving to portray in its environment.
New episodes of Our Kind of People air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET. Next day viewing is available on Hulu.
