Preparation for filming of a second season of a TV show for Amazon Prime was spotted in the city centre of Bristol today (Tuesday, February 11). Film crews were seen preparing a shoot for the second season of ‘ Has Fallen’ on Unity Street and Denmark Street this morning.
The TV series is a spin-off to the movie trilogy that released between 2013 and 2019, consisting of Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen and Angel Has Fallen. The movies starred Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman in starring roles.
The second season of the TV show follows on from the first season, titled Paris Has Fallen . Few details have been released about the plot or cast for the second season, but what has been confirmed is that the second season will pivot back to the films more closely, which has caused speculation that Mr Butler could make a cameo.
The first season lasted eight episodes and was released onto Amazon Prime in November. It starred Tewfik Jallab, Ritu Arya and Sean Harris. It had earned a 91 percent rating on review website Rotten Tomatoes amongst critics and a 63 percent rating from the public.
Signage had appeared near College Green warning pedestrians that filming was taking place “with weapons and fake bodies”. The sign added: “Please do not be alarmed. All relevant agencies and emergency services are aware and have approved our plans.”
Parking restrictions on Unity Street suggested that the film set will remain in place for tomorrow. A further sign near College Green said: “Police accredited traffic control ahead”. The production is being filmed by Urban Myth Films.
More than a dozen members of the crew were seen moving equipment and barriers as preparations went on. Members of the crew were seen on Denmark Street, behind the Hippodrome, and vehicles were spotted on College Green and at Orchard Street. Toilets were on the corner of Orchard Street at the end of the road.
