Michelle Keegan and James Buckley were observed on set this past Monday, marking their initial collaborative appearance for the upcoming Netflix series, The Woods. The production, an eight-part thriller, is derived from the literary work of Harlan Coben.
The filming sequence took place at approximately 4:00 AM at a townhouse location.
Buckley, known for his role in the sitcom The Inbetweeners, was captured in costume, wearing a dressing gown and a slogan t-shirt.
The narrative centers on a protagonist, Paul ‘Cope’ Copeland, whose sister disappeared two decades prior; the discovery of a body in the present day forces a re-examination of the past.
