Where Was 'It Ends With Us' Filmed? You Won't Believe It!

Where Was "It Ends With Us" Filmed?

This movie about Lily Bloom and Ryle Kincaid might be set in Boston and a super small-town in Maine called Plethora, but the crew actually filmed in a different place!

Wait - So It Wasn't Filmed In Boston?!

Yeah, that's right - not a single scene. It's actually pretty fascinating, how they took a story set in those cool, real places - and filmed in New Jersey!

  • Hoboken and Jersey City stand in for the big city, Boston. You could say this is like the twin-city look. That really made it fun - because these locations felt more cinematic and gave a certain feel!
  • Those New Jersey places got turned into iconic film locations - like a restaurant (which stood in for Lily’s flower shop), even a famous New Jersey diner.

But Where's Plethora?

  • That little town was filmed in Plainfield! You won't believe this but the movie adaptation is even bigger. They transformed a few places in the city - that’s a real change - so it felt like that quaint town they were looking for.

What Was It Like?

  • Plainfield is in New Jersey - that means, lots of charming Dutch Colonial architecture, like houses that were in a fairytale - to capture those feelings from the book!
  • It gives you that small-town vibe, and those quiet streets to go along with that. Plus, that makes you appreciate those crazy, high-pressure scenes in the city.

Any Other "It Ends With Us" Film Locations?

You are going to be surprised! That cemetery, at Fair Mount, where they filmed those really moving scenes from the book with Lily and her mom? Yep, that was actually filmed in Chatham, a small New Jersey town - kind of like Plethora, isn't it?! The setting made the cemetery feel real, so it really gave those scenes a super emotional touch!

Those movie settings are amazing, and it looks like it turned into a beautiful movie for Blake Lively - who starred as Lily! That movie must have been a wild ride! But if you like that super sad story in Colleen Hoover’s book, then the movie should definitely be worth the watch.
