Toby Jones has been observed filming scenes for an upcoming Netflix production also featuring Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan.
The actress was photographed last month with a visible pregnancy while working on the streaming platform’s version of Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected.
Jones was confirmed as part of the project adapting Dahl’s short story collection for adult audiences in August.
The supporting cast was previously announced to include Clarke Peters, Christine Tremarco, Carmen Ejogo, Josh Finan, Michael Socha, Naomi Scott, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton.
Danny Brocklehurst, who has written numerous adaptations of Harlan Coben’s novels, is handling the screenplay duties.
The official description presents the series as a collection of unsettling narratives drawing from Dahl’s celebrated short fiction.
The plot synopsis outlines a scenario where a young couple become stranded in a declining coastal resort.
Their attempts to flee before their own destiny is determined see them encountering con artists, unfaithful partners, dangerous maternal figures and manipulative individuals.
Brocklehurst has previously spoken about the influence of Dahl’s work on his own career path.
He has described how Dahl’s compelling, darkly disturbing and surprising stories introduced readers to vivid characters including those from The Landlady, Mister Boggis and Fingersmith.
Production on the streaming platform’s adaptation is ongoing.
Jones also featured in the film Mr Burton, which recounts the story of young pupil Richard Jenkins, son of a miner with drinking problems, and his English instructor Philip Burton who nurtured his abilities and helped him evolve into the renowned actor Richard Burton.
Additionally, Jones appeared in the television drama Mr Bates versus The Post Office.
He may be most recognised for his performance in the BBC comedy series Detectorists, in which he co-starred with Mackenzie Crook.
The programme ran for three seasons between 2014 and 2017.
Jones was awarded an honorary degree by Oxford Brookes University in 2018.
A museum and story centre dedicated to Dahl and his legacy operates in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire.
