The stars of a mysterious new TV drama are due to start filming by the river front.

Shooting for Cockney and Scouse will continue at Gravesend Promenade and in and around the town centre for the next month.

The10-part series stars David Easter, Mark Moraghan and Stuart Antony who all recently finished shooting at Ye Olde Leather Bottel pub in Northfleet.

Crews are to continue filming for around three months at different locations around London with the series airing in 2022.

Very little information is available about the series but the show revolves around two former special forces veterans who are summoned out of retirement by 'The World Order' to take on missions including assassinations of terrorists and fascist world leaders.

A Liver Bird Films spokesman said: "At the moment we can't release the details of the broadcaster but it will be a major streaming service and it will be aired in 2022.

"We are excited to begin filming after a delay to Covid restrictions and getting our cast and crew back to what they do best - making great TV.

"Covid-19 safety protocols are in place for the whole production including one way routes throughout interior sets with masks and hand sanitiser provided for all involved.

"A weekly review of risk assessments are crucial and egular testing takes place for all cast and crew as well as social distancing."
