Season two of a hit show previously filmed in Basingstoke is set to air in May.
The global spy thriller, Citadel, will premiere its second season on May 22 on Amazon Prime after filming at Farnborough International Studios.
Season 1 of the the show, featuring actors Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, was previously filmed in Basing View’s Mountbatten House in 2021.
When the filming took place, Richard Madden was spotted by a member of the public, with the crew trying to dupe the public into believing the filming was for a mayonnaise commercial.
Upon its initial release, it was one of the most expensive streamed series of all time, costing £250million.
It is understood that Mountbatten House, a five-storey building which was sold for £2 million in 2019 to Squarestone Growth, was converted into a hospital set for filming.
The cast and crew of the big-budget production descended on Basing View, where lorries, trailers, floodlights, and catering facilities packed into a council car park, with 24-hour security patrolling the site.
The series tells the story of a global spy agency following elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) whose memories are wiped when the agency collapsed eight years ago.
