Netflix has been helping us transform our living rooms into cinemas for years now, offering subscribers a wealth of exciting and exclusive new movies.
There has been plenty to enjoy so far this year, with such diverse highlights as Army of the Dead, Bad Trip, Moxie, Malcolm & Marie, and The White Tiger.
The latest to demand attention is Fatherhood, which allows comedian and actor Kevin Hart the chance to step into a more dramatic and heartfelt role than his fans may be used to seeing him in.
Directed by Paul Weitz, he stars as Matt, who in the wake of a family tragedy is confronted with the challenges of being a single parent to his daughter Maddy.
While there are a number of familiar faces that drop in, it’s worth highlighting that there are some familiar places too. So, where was Fatherhood filmed?
Netflix: Where was Fatherhood filmed?
- The 2021 movie was filmed in Montreal, Quebec and Boston, Massachusetts.
As noted by The Cinemaholic, much of the production was shot in Montreal, including both commercial and residential areas.
Matt’s home can be found in the Notre-Dame-de-Grace neighborhood in west Montreal. Both the house’s exterior and the neighborhood made it in. Additionally, areas of downtown Montreal feature too.
However, Fatherhood is actually set in Boston, so it makes sense that they shot a number of scenes there too. One sequence takes place on the swan boats at the Boston Public Garden, 4 Charles Street.
Other recognisable spots in Boston include Boston Common, which is a well-known public park at 139 Tremont Street in downtown Boston.

Kevin’s second nature
Speaking with ScreenRant, director Paul Weitz was asked whether it seemed like second nature for Kevin Hart to step into a more dramatic part:
“It seemed like second nature to him. Look, I’d seen all of Kevin’s comedies and also seen The Upside – and I found him riveting there. I’d also read his autobiography, where he’s talking about really jarring things, but he’s really funny. So, I knew that’s how his mind was working already.”
He added: “I think he trusted me, and I 100% trusted him. It was quite natural.”
Looking ahead, the actor’s fans will be pleased to know that he’s locked in to play Roland in Eli Roth’s movie adaptation of the Borderlands video-game. So, it looks like he’s set to continue stepping up to intriguing and challenging roles.
