The Teacher has returned to Channel 5 for a second season, featuring an entirely new cast and separate standalone plot from the original 2022 series.
This season of The Teacher focuses on the story of Dani (Kara Tointon), an art teacher beloved by her students though grappling with an unfulfilling marriage. After starting up an affair with fellow teacher Jimmy (Will Mellor), this quickly escalates on a school trip.
It’s during time unsupervised that a student goes missing, with Dani finding herself lying about her whereabouts to prioritise her marriage over justice, though with the guilt consuming her and ultimately forcing her to come to terms with her own dark secrets.
Though filming for season 1 of The Teacher took place in Budapest (despite being set in Bradford), filming for the second season was took place much closer to home.
So exactly where is The Teacher filmed? Here’s everything to know about the show’s season 2 filming locations.

Where was The Teacher season 2 filmed?
Much of The Teacher season 2 was filmed in Lough Dan in County Wicklow, Ireland.
Speaking on the filming locations for the series to Radio Times, Will Mellor said: “We had some fantastic locations. Shooting at Lough Dan in Co Wicklow there was beautiful scenery to work in. It’s where they shot Vikings… It was a stunning location.”
He explains that the “wooded area” where the series was filmed was privately owned, with the crew filming all the camping scenes there for four or five days.
Naturally, Ireland isn’t particularly known for its good weather, with Mellor adding: “We had a bit of a challenging time with the weather. The weather could come in at any point and we had a lot of stuff to do.”
