The Crown, the fictionalised Netflix drama series about Queen Elizabeth II and the British royal family, will be filming part of its sixth and final season in Hull next month.
Dates for The Crown's film schedule have just been released, with actors and film crews set to descend on the Yorkshire city at the end of October.
Netflix film crews will once again head up the M62 to shoot a number of scenes across 24, 25 and 26 October, using Alfred Gelder Street and Queen Victoria Square as shooting locations - with some filming stretching into the early hours, as late as 3am.
Earlier this month Netflix put out a casting call to residents of Hull, offering a daily rate of £150-250 for up to 300 extras.
Extras have since been asked to come with 1940's-style hair and clean-shaven faces, leading to speculation that these upcoming Hull scenes could be set in 1945 on Victory in Europe Day (VE) Day, as part of a flashback.
The rest of the final season is, as we already know, set around the turn of the last century and is due to follow on from the as-yet-unreleased season 5.
Season 5, meanwhile, is set in 1990's Britain in the controversial era of Diana’s split from King Charles III and her tragic death.
Following the passing of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, production was briefly suspended whilst viewing figures for The Crown shot up by 800%.
The fifth season of The Crown is due to be released in November, although a firm release date is yet to be revealed.
The final two seasons of the show are expected to almost entirely recast major roles with new actors as it moves through the different eras of the Queen’s life.
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
