Black Mirror among projects wrapping

Netflix logo The fifth series of Black Mirror is among several TV projects that are due to wrap over the next few days.

Season 5 began filming in March with a production base at Ealing Studios.  

Acorn TV’s original crime drama Queens of Mystery also wraps a 10-week shoot – filming took place in London and Kent. The show comes from Sly Fox Productions and centres on an eternally-single female detective and her three crime-writing aunts. Julie Graham, Siobhan Redmond, Sarah Woodward and Olivia Vinall star. 

Other projects that have been filming around the UK recently and that are now heading towards post include Warren, a new comedy starring Martin Clunes that has been filming in Cardiff, and Gurinder Chadha’s period drama for ITV, Beecham House, which is ending a UK/India shoot. 

Three returning shows are also wrapping: the second series of Derry Girls, Trust Me and Lee & Dean.
