Other filming areas over the last few weeks include Yarmouth, Wootton, Military Road, Bembridge, Cowes and Freshwater.

A brand new revenge thriller, featuring BAFTA winner Jared Harris, has begun production on the Isle of Wight, as previously reported.

The Beast Must Die is the first drama to shoot for BritBox UK and is being filmed on - and around - the Island for 11 weeks. 

The original British five-part revenge thriller is being produced by New Regency Television International and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free. 

It is an adaption of the 1938 novel of the same name by Nicholas Blake, based off the poem written by Cecil Day-Lewis, father of Daniel Day-Lewis.

The Beast Must Die tells the story of a grieving mother who infiltrates the life of the man she believes killed her son.

On Friday East Cowes residents expressed curiosity surrounding a tent that was set up by the film crew on the esplanade.

East Cowes Councillor Karl Love told Isle of Wight Radio:

'I think it’s something very exciting for local people to know that our town is going to be a part of this filming in more than one location.'
