Beginning in October, London, England will serve as the location for the filming of Disney+’s “Suspect: The Shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes.” The series, which is based on a genuine incident, centres on the shooting murder of Jean Charles de Menezes, a Brazilian national who was slain by British police while they were looking for a cell of terrorists. According to the logline, the series is “set right after the 2005 London bombings and focuses on the manhunt for a group of would-be terrorists and the tragic killing of the innocent Brazilian, after he was mistaken for a suspect.”
The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike is not anticipated to hinder the filming of the show in London because it is a British production that Disney+ UK has commissioned. The series is just one of many productions that will be filming in the city in the next months, including BBC’s “Ludwig,” Paramount+’s “Insomnia,” HBO’s “C. B. Strike” Season 6, and AMC’s “Gangs of London” Season 3. A number of well-known recently released films, including “Barbie,” “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “The Flash,” “Secret Invasion,” “Silo,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” etc., were shot in London.
