Filming has been taking place in Bolton town centre this week ahead of a new Netflix crime thriller series set to air next year on the streaming platform. Crews have been seen shooting scenes for Bodies, an adaptation of a graphic novel by Si Spencer.
It is set to star Stephen Graham of hit series Line of Duty as well as Jacob Fortune-Lloyd who played Francis Weston in the BBC series Wolf Hall. Pictures taken on Monday afternoon (September 5) show camera crews and mock police cars in the town centre as filming for the series continues to take place.
Netflix said Bodies will be a crime procedural, set to last eight episodes. Four detectives in four different eras of London will find themselves investigating the same murder – an unidentified body in Whitechapel – uncovering a conspiracy spanning 150 years.

Multiple police cars were seen on Le Mans Crescent in the town centre on Monday as crews turned up to begin filming. Many of the police cars were stamped 'Greater London Police' with the area temporarily closed off as filming took place.
The storyline is set across four different eras of London as the same murder is investigated across the years 1890, 1940, 2014 and 2050.
Filming first kicked off in May, with other UK towns and cities being used as the backdrop. Crews have previously been spotted shooting in Hull, Leeds, Grimsby, Bradford and Rotherham.
The eight-part drama will also star Shira Haas, of Netflix’s Unorthodox, Amaka Okafor, who will feature in Netflix’s The Sandman and Kyle Soller who appeared in BBC Three's comedy Bad Education.
