Filming has started on Belgravia, the new 6-episode British TV drama series adaptation of Julian Fellowes' book.
Belgravia is produced for ITV by Carnival Films, a division of NBCUniversal International Studios, and the makers of Downton Abbey that was seen on the BBC in South Africa and Africa on MultiChoice's DStv.
Belgravia will be distributed by NBCUniversal International Distribution, so it's not yet clear whether it will end up on ITV Choice (DStv 123), M-Net (DStv 101), BBC First (DStv 119) or elsewhere South African TV screens.
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 consequences for decades to come as secrets unravel behind the porticoed doors of London's grandest neighbourhood.
Filming of Belgravia will take place at a range of stunning Victorian locations in London and the home counties, Edinburgh, Bath and Northumberland with Carnival's Gareth Neame executive producing alongside Nigel Marchant, Liz Trubridge and Julian Fellowes.
John Alexander will direct all episodes with Colin Wratten producing.
The team is joined by an ensemble cast including Tamsin Greig, Philip Glenister, Harriet Walter, Alice Eve, Tara Fitzgerald, Ella Purnell, Richard Goulding, James Fleet, Adam James, Paul Ritter and Saskia Reeves.
