This summer, a new big-budget Netflix thriller will be shot around Yorkshire. Following in the footsteps of Mission Impossible, Marvel’s Secret Invasion, and BBC’s Better, Bodies is the latest project to film in Yorkshire.
The filming is scheduled to take place in Leeds, Bradford, Rotherham, and Hull between now and September.
Later this month, streets in Hull’s Old Town will be turned into film sets for a new Netflix drama.
Bodies is a criminal thriller based on Si Spencer’s graphic novel of the same name, which was initially published in 2015. It follows four different investigators as they try to solve the same crime in London’s Whitechapel over the course of 150 years.
The show is a criminal drama based on Si Spencer’s novel Bodies, which follows four detectives investigating the same murder in four distinct eras of London.
Details about its upcoming drama Bodies have been kept under wraps. Until February of this year, when the Netflix commission was announced, it was just known as ‘Project IV,’ and no cast members had been confirmed.
A month later, a casting call for anyone interested in being extras was posted. It was confirmed that filming would take place in a variety of places between May and September, including Leeds, Bradford, Grimsby, Rotherham, and Hull.
In the 1890s, Edmond Hilinghead investigates the crime, Karl Whiteman takes over in the 1940s, DS Shahara Hasan in the 2010s, and Maplewood in the post-apocalyptic 2050.
Moonage Pictures, which produced Will Gould and Frith Tipladys’ Pursuit of Love, is producing the eight-part series. No Offense and Torchwood writer Paul Tomalin developed it.
Hull’s Old Town is expected to be recreated once more to portray Victorian London on screen, as it has in a number of previous movies, including Enola Holmes.
According to a Hull City Council report, work on Lowgate and Bowlalley Lane in the vicinity has been scheduled for June 27 – immediately after it has been closed for Netflix filming.
Extra People’s casting call billed the production as a “big high quality TV series” and revealed filming would take place in Leeds, Bradford, Rotherham, Grimsby, and Hull.
