TV show set in Provincetown, filmed on Cape Cod, now streaming on Netflix

"Hightown," a television drama series set in Provincetown and filmed partly on Cape Cod , is now streaming on Netflix .

The show, created by Rebecca Cutter and starring Monica Raymund, Riley Voelkel and Shane Harper, originally premiered on Starz in May 2020.

"A Cape Cod wildlife official becomes entangled in a murder investigation, putting her at odds with the law, long-held secrets and her own recovery," reads the series synopsis on Netflix.

Cape Cod filming for the show included staging Provincetown's iconic Carnival parade down Commercial Street in June 2019 (it's usually held in August), closing off part of the Bourne Bridge for a few hours in November 2020 and aerial shots of Provincetown and prominent landmarks, like the Pilgrim Monument.

Former Times' editor Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll reviewed the show and interviewed the cast and crew in 2020.

Scrizzi Driscoll called "Hightown" "a largely gritty and dark, yet oh-so-scenic, perspective on Provincetown and Cape Cod."

All three seasons are on now on Netflix.
