Where was The Starling filmed?

Following the heartbreaking loss Jack and Lilly suffer, Jack is overcome by grief and he gets committed to the New Horizons mental health care facility. The room is filled with couples in similar situations listening intently to a therapy session on handling the emotions of losing a loved one. Lilly arrives each Tuesday with a snack for Jack, symbolizing her unwavering love for him despite their current struggles. Despite Lilly’s efforts, neither can bring themselves to communicate or even look at the other. Jack yearns for a reunion with their daughter in the afterlife, while Lilly becomes preoccupied with Jack's dilemma to the point of neglecting her feelings. The hospital scenes were among those shot in New York City. The unmistakable NYC skyline stands out in the background, starkly contrasting the bleakness that Jack and Lilly feel inside. However, this doesn't take away from the beautiful moments between them or the hope that lies ahead for them both.

If you want to travel to a city that never sleeps, then you're in luck; New York City is served by three nearby airports - JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty International Airport located across the river in New Jersey. Commuter trains and/or subways are available for those who arrive at either JFK or Newark Airport while visitors flying into LaGuardia have fewer public transportation options. Once there, Central Park is among the most popular tourist spots worth visiting, having featured as a backdrop in several TV shows and films.

The bustling environment makes it clear that this is where people come to buy their everyday needs while also providing insight into Lilly's struggles and challenges. Travis Delp (Timothy Olyphant), her boss, gives the scene extra charm and color. He adds an air of optimism with his charisma and contrasts Lilly’s world-weary attitude. As they face off against each other, it becomes clear that deeper issues are at stake than just a simple argument between employer and employee. The grocery store scene was shot in New York City. It captures the essence of traditional American supermarkets with its bright colors and classic architecture giving us an insight into what many American neighborhoods look like today.

Dr. Fine doesn’t provide any solutions but listens to Lilly and empathizes with her situation. Although it's a brief scene, it gives viewers an insight into Lilly’s conflict and her internal struggle to move on from her sadness. The establishment looks like an ordinary vet clinic, with medical equipment and pet cages lining the walls. To create an authentic look, The Starling production designers included medical equipment such as wheelchairs and pet carriers as well as animal cages along the set's walls. It is yet another scene that was shot in New York. To take a walk down memory lane, why not visit the Smallpox Memorial Hospital? Remnants of the Gothic Revival-style building rest on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan, and it was once a 100-bed hospital that took care of those who were plagued by the illness in the 1800s.
