Filming is well underway for Netflix’s upcoming star-studded Roald Dahl series, currently filming under the working title of Zoltar, and we’ve got some brand new behind-the-scenes looks at the cast in action on location in the North of England.
As previously reported [exclusively](link to original article if available), Netflix is bringing a brand new serialized adaptation of Roald Dahl’s iconic adult short stories to our screens. Think Tales of the Unexpected, but with a fresh, modern, and delightfully twisted spin from writer and executive producer Danny Brocklehurst (Fool Me Once, Run Away).
Behind-the-Scenes Images:
Here is the breakdown of the new behind-the-scenes images from the Saltburn set:
- Naomi Scott (Aladdin, Anatomy of a Scandal) is spotted filming what looks to be a frantic action sequence. Dressed in a striking green and orange padded jacket over a blue hoodie, Scott’s character sprints down the pavement past "The Railway Cafe." Another shot showcases the massive scale of the production taking over the town, featuring large lighting rigs, crew tents, and a red estate car parked on the street.
- Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) and Toby Jones (The Pale Blue Eye, Detectorists) were also caught between takes. This continues our very first look at Coughlan in character, sporting a massive prosthetic baby bump in a fitted ribbed red dress and a pink striped shirt. Standing next to her is Toby Jones in a classic grey tweed blazer, enjoying a quick banana break between rolls.
- Michael Socha (The Gallows Pole, This Is England) was captured having a chat on set outside a café/bar location decorated with hanging floral baskets.
