A new BBC Two comedy-drama is set to start filming on Lark Lane in February 2021.
The Liverpool based drama, called The Responder, is a six-part series written by ex-Merseyside police officer Tony Schumacher.
Award winning actor Martin Freeman, known for roles in hit shows and movies including The Office, The Hobbit, Hot Fuzz and Sherlock, will star as the main character Tony in the drama.
