The third season of the acclaimed anthology series, The Teacher, shifts its setting to the picturesque landscapes of Sheffield and the Peak District. Victoria Hamilton, known for her roles in Unforgotten and The Crown, steps into the lead as Helen Simpson, the Head of Drama at an independent private school.
Director Dominic Leclerc chose Sheffield and the Peak District to imbue the series with a unique flavour, juxtaposing the edge of a northern city with stunning natural scenery. The narrative explores intergenerational themes and the complexities of privilege and principle within the school environment.
Despite its UK setting, the bulk of Season 3 was filmed abroad, with the majority of production taking place in Vitoria, Spain. Additional filming occurred in Hertfordshire for exterior school shots. Actors like Steve Edge and Rochenda Sandall shared their experiences of working in Spain, highlighting the cultural differences and the unique settings used for the production.
Sandall noted that the school scenes were filmed in an old church converted into an art college in northern Spain, creating an open-plan boarding school aesthetic. The cast enjoyed their time in Spain, exploring local cuisine and enjoying the experience of filming in a different country.
