Filming for a new supernatural series continues in Bolton this morning.

Le Mans Crescent was turned into a film set for The Talamasca, which is produced by AMC and is the latest television adaptation in the Anne Rice chronicles.

Film crews have been in Bolton town centre all week and this morning a fire engine and ambulance was parked outside as part of the shoot.

The Talamasca stars Downton Abbey's Elizabeth McGovern - who will be well-known to UK audiences as Cora Crawley on Downton Abbey.

Crews for The Talamasca were in town last month for the series which is set for the end of next year.

“This is a story we’ve been developing and wanting to tell from the earliest moments of this franchise, focused on a fascinating and compelling secret society that has already appeared in both of our existing Anne Rice series, The Talamasca,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “As with all of these shows, we are thrilled to have such a high level of talent involved."

Back in October, a mock-up of Tottenham Court Road tube station was created in the town centre for the show.

The series centres around a secret society which is responsible for tracking and containing witches, vampires, werewolves and other creatures scattered around the globe.

Also starring in the series is William Fichtner of Prison Break, Heat and Armageddon fame, as Jasper, a "mysterious American" who is the leader of the London branch of the Talamasca.

Le Mans Crescent is a popular go to location for film crews including Fool Me Once which is one of the most watched series of this year.

Some of the biggest stars in film and TV have been spotted in Bolton in recent years including Sarah Parish and Robert Carlyle.

Cllr Nadeem Ayub, Bolton Council's cabinet member for culture, said: "It is great to see more filming taking place in the town centre.

"We have great architecture and filming is a showcase for Bolton on the national and international stage, which increases footfall in the town as it encourages people to visit.

"Filming goes hand in hand with Bolton's title as Greater Manchester's Town of Culture."
