The production company has previously worked on Chernobyl, Gangs of London and This is Going to Hurt.
Currently, the filming is scheduled between 1pm and 4pm on Monday, April 11, at the Hidden Wardrobe in the Corn Exchange. The studio said another letter sent in the coming weeks would confirm the dates. Hidden Wardrobe, which was established in 2010, is a clothing store and it also has an outlet in Huddersfield.
The location team described the scene they would be filming as part of the letter, saying the lead actress in the show would be attempting to sell an expensive jacket to a second-hand clothing store. When the shop assistant refuses, the character leaves.
The studio said: "We are speaking to management to ensure filming does not affect local trade for other businesses inside The Corn Exchange. One way we are looking to do this is by reducing the amount of crew and kit inside the location.
"Leeds City Council and The Corn Exchange Management are fully aware of our intentions and are supportive of the project.
"Thanks in advance for your patience and support in making what promises to be a brilliant showcase of our wonderful city of Leeds!" The letter also said crew will be adhering to the current COVID guidelines.
