Turn Up Charlie Filming Locations: The house and the venues where Netflix's Idris Elba series is filmed

Posted by Ra Moon

The new Netflix series Turn Up Charlie was shot primarily in England, and also in some awesome locations in the Mediterranean.

The show revolves around Charlie, a failed DJ, who has a new chance to relaunch his career when he becomes a manny to his famous best friend's naughty 11-year-old daughter.

British actor and musician Idris Elba (known for his roles in The Wire, Luther, or for portraying Nelson Mandela in the film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom) plays Charlie.

The eight-episode comedy also stars Piper Perabo as Sara (Coyote Ugly, Covert Affairs) along with JJ Feild as David, Angela Griffin as Sara's manager Astrid, and child actress Frankie Hervey in the central role as Gabrielle.

Turn Up Charlie was filmed in London and the Balearic islands of Eivissa and Mallorca (Spain). Also set in Ibiza, White Lines is the new 2020 series made partially by the same crew.

The mega-party from the last episode was filmed in the spectacular state Sa Fortalesa de Pollença (Mallorca).

Originally it was a fortress, built in 1628 to repel the Moorish threat. In 1919 it was acquired by an Argentinean artist who transformed the house into a meeting place for top vanguard painters of his time.

Today, it belongs to a British banker who bought it in 2011 for 40 million euros.

The luxurious property was featured in the acclaimed BBC series The Night Manager, serving as the mansion of the arms dealer played by Hugh Laurie.
