We've also rounded up Film London's final activity of 2021, and what we've got in store for January.

Currently Filming

Treason, featuring a return to Netflix for Daredevil star Charlie Cox as well as Quantum of Solace star Olga Kurylenko and Game of Thrones actress Oona Chaplin, has recently started production on the streets of London. From Oscar-nominated Bridge of Spies screenwriter Matt Charman comes this new high-profile spy drama about an MI6 spy and his complicated relationship with his family and a dangerous Russian spy.

The Sky One/FX drama Breeders returns for a third season later this year and filming has just begun for the third season in London. Starring Sherlock actor Martin Freeman, the series based partly on Freeman's own experiences deals with the difficulties of parenthood and was created by Freeman alongside Chris Addison and Simon Blackwell.

Raging Grace a new Shudder horror film from BIFA-nominated writer & director Paris Zarcilla and produced by Film London alumnus Chi Thai, has been shooting on the streets of London over the past few months. Described as "the first British-Filipino feature in British cinema history" by the writer/director, the film follows an undocumented Filipina immigrant who lands a job as a careworker for a seemingly terminal old man, securing a better life for her and her daughter. However, a dark discovery threatens to destroy everything she’s strived for and holds dear.
