Filming begins on Julian Fellowes’ Belgravia

Casting details have been released for the ITV drama.

Actor and writer Julian Fellows.

Belgravia is a story of secrets and scandals amongst the upper echelon of London society in the 19th Century.

When the Trenchards accept an invitation to the now legendary ball hosted by the Duchess of Richmond on the fateful eve of the Battle of Waterloo, it sets in motion a series of events that will have long-lasting consequences as secrets unravel behind the porticoed doors of the city’s grandest postcode.

Tamsin Greig, Philip Glenister, Harriet Walter and Alice Eve star alongside Tara Fitzgerald, Ella Purnell, Richard Goulding, James Fleet, Adam James, Paul Ritter and Saskia Reeves.

Downton Abbey has been Julian’s best-known TV work thus far. The period drama adapted from his same-titled novel.

The series, a co-production with cable network EPIX, reunites the award-winning team behind Downton Abbey with Julian Fellowes adapting his bestselling novel for the screen and Carnival’s Gareth Neame executive producing alongside Nigel Marchant, Liz Trubridge and Fellowes. John Alexander will direct the limited series with Colin Wratten producing.

“We’re delighted to be reuniting with Julian Fellowes, Gareth Neame and Carnival Films to produce Belgravia for ITV. It’s a tale of scandal and intrigue set in 1840s London with some wonderful characters spanning two generations at its heart.” – ITV Head of Drama, Polly Hill

Filming will take place at a range of stunning Victorian locations in London and the home counties, Edinburgh, Bath and Northumberland.
