The Spanish Princess will be filmed in Bristol and they're looking for extras

A historical drama soon to start filming in Bristol is on the lookout for extras.

The Spanish Princess features Game of Thrones actress Charlotte Hope as Catherine of Aragon and Ruairi O'Connor as her husband King Henry VIII.

The first series was shot largely at The Bottle Yard studios in Whitchurch between June and October last year, before airing on Amazon Prime this May.

Now producers of the Starz show are offering opportunities to background artists when filming for the second series starts in Bristol.

Fiona Francombe, site director of The Bottle Yard Studios, said at the time: "It was a fantastic endorsement for us to host The Spanish Princess after its prequel The White Princess filmed here in 2016.

"We’re used to productions creating entire worlds here, but this is one of the biggest and most visually rich dramas we’ve had to date, in terms of the beautiful sets, period costumes and nearby historic locations it features."

The Slick Casting agency revealed The Spanish Princess needs extras who live in the city and surrounding areas. Shooting will take place between September and next February.   A full-scale, interconnected replica of Tudor-era Westminster Palace was built in 30,000 square feet of space in The Bottle Yard’s Export Warehouse and Tank House 1.
