Film crews have cordoned off a section of Corn Street and are currently occupying the upper floors of the Corn Exchange building. Bristol Live understands they are filming the third series of Alex Rider for Amazon Prime.
The UK production of the spy thriller series is taking place at The Bottle Yard Studios on Whitchurch Lane, with filming across several locations in Bristol. Film crews were also seen last week at Dareshack on Wine Street by Castle Park, also believed to be from the team behind Alex Rider.
The show is an adaptation of the famous teenage book series of the same name. Season three will focus on the fifth book, Scorpia, starring Otto Farrant as the lead road.
