Netflix sci-fi series The One to hit screens after filming in Bristol

A sci-fi series is set to premiere next month on Netflix after filming in Bristol.

The One, based on John Marrs’ psychological thriller, is set in a world where scientists have discovered everyone has a gene matched to one other person, their perfect partner.

Crews shot scenes in January last year outside the Bristol Royal Marriott hotel near College Green.

Misfits creator Howard Overman has written the eight-episode series, which will be available to stream on Netflix in its entirety from March 12.

Betrayal star Hannah Ware will appear in the series as Rebecca, the CEO of MatchDNA, a firm which pairs people with their soulmates.

Filming took place in Newport and Cardiff's Cathays district, as well as in Bristol locations.

The press release for The One says: “No matter how good your relationship, which one of us can honestly say we haven’t thought about whether there is someone better out there? What if a hair sample is all it takes to find them?

“The idea is simple, but the implications are explosive. We will never think of love and relationships in the same way again.”

Riviera actor Dimitri Leonidas plays MatchDNA co-founder James. The One will also feature Amir El-Masry, Stephen Campbell Moore, Wilf Scolding, Diarmaid Murtagh, Lois Chimimba, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Pallavi Sharda, Soë Tapper and Gregg Chillin.
