Filming for the third season of The Outlaws has been getting underway at Bristol Harbour. The cast and crew of the Bristol-based crime comedy drama were photographed shooting outside Arnolfini this morning (May 15).
The BBC confirmed that The Outlaws, which is one of the broadcaster's most popular comedies over the last few years, had been renewed for a third season last month. Starring Hanham-born comedian Stephen Merchant, who co-created the show alongside Elgin James, The Outlaws follows seven strangers from different walks of life who cross paths as they complete a Community Payback sentence in Bristol.
Other members of the cast include the likes of Gamba Cole, Rhianne Barreto, Eleanor Tomlinson and Hollywood actor Christopher Walken. Jessica Gunning, who plays Diane Pemberley in The Outlaws, can be seen in photographs taken by BristolLive down at the Harbour today, in her character's PCSO uniform.

Earlier this month, Merchant was spotted in Clifton alongside crew members outside The Washington Guesthouse, cutting a casual figure in a cap and sunglasses. In an interview with Radio Times last year, Merchant admitted that he was "quite excited" at the thought of another season.
He told the publication: "We started talking about series three and we found there was so much meat still on the bone and still so much to do with the characters... that I'm actually quite excited by the idea of doing a series 3. Partly because of that writers room so you can keep yourself stimulated by different voices.
"And also, because there's so many characters, you can just keep going."
Whilst filming is currently taking place in Bristol, not much is known about the third season of The Outlaws, including when we can expect to see it back on our screens. The first season, which aired two years ago before being followed up by a second offering last year, was the BBC's "biggest comedy launch of 2021", and had been streamed 11 million times on iPlayer as of this time last year.
