‘To Catch a Cheater’ takes viewers into a tense world of suspicion, betrayal, and murder. The Lifetime thriller follows Monica (Kate Watson), a mother whose life changes after the sudden death of her teenage daughter, Hannah (Jordan Kennedy). Refusing to accept the situation without answers, Monica begins searching for the truth, only to discover that the people closest to her may be hiding dangerous secrets. Directed by Damián Romay, the movie was filmed entirely in Florida. Production reportedly began in September 2025 and wrapped in early October after a few weeks of filming. The Miami metropolitan area served as the main production base, with the team shooting across Miami and nearby coastal locations.

Miami provided much of the film’s visual setting. The production used streets and neighborhoods across the city to create the backdrop for Monica’s investigation. The story also moves through water-surrounded locations, which adds to the isolated, uneasy atmosphere as Monica finds herself questioning those around her. Miami Beach was another important filming location. The cast and crew were reportedly spotted filming key scenes in South Beach, the famous neighborhood positioned between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Its coastal setting fits the thriller’s growing sense of paranoia as Monica becomes increasingly consumed by the mystery surrounding her daughter’s death.

The production also traveled outside Miami. Hallandale Beach and Hollywood, both located north of the city, were used for additional scenes. Together, these South Florida locations gave the movie a mix of urban streets, residential areas, and open waterfront settings. Watson’s character drives the story after Hannah’s death pushes her to investigate what really happened. As she digs deeper, she finds herself caught between grief and growing distrust, while secrets involving her closest friends threaten to destroy their relationships

David (Philip Boyd), Monica’s husband, wants her to move forward rather than continue chasing answers. The cast also includes Sheila Leason as Bridget, Jessie Pettit as Kim, and Lily Bowen as Megan. Supporting roles are played by Roy Lynam, Lauren Madigan, Steven McCormack, Luke Omalza, Valentina Rivas, Christian Shupe and Francois Larosa. By using several locations across the Miami metropolitan area, ‘To Catch a Cheater’ places its mystery against a distinctly South Florida backdrop. The beaches, neighborhoods, and waterfront landscapes become part of the film’s tense atmosphere as Monica’s search for answers brings buried secrets to light. ‘To Catch a Cheater’ is available to stream on Netflix.
