Film crews are in Margate today (July 11) in a shoot understood to be for new Sky comedy Dreamland which will star pop singer Lily Allen.
The programme has been written by Sharon Horgan and will be produced by her company Merman.
‘Dreamland’ is based on a 2017 Sky Arts short, Morgana Robinson’s Summer.

The tale follows a woman attending her heavily pregnant sister’s baby shower where she has news of her own to reveal.

Filming takes place in Kent and London and director is Ellie Haydon. It is the first lead television role for 37-year-old Lily Allen, daughter of actor Keith Allen, although she has had parts on the big screen including a 1998 episode The Yob, which starred her father and a role as Elizabeth Taylor in the How To Build A Girl which was released in 2020.
The singer previously filmed at Dreamland in 2015 for a music video.
Kent Film Office has been asked for further details.

How cares
Always on sky or somewhere else that has to be paid for on top of the licence.
Thanet is well loved amongst the artistic community. With good reason.
Good luck with the film . Hope it’s good . Pity lily disgraced herself crying fake tears in cailias for illegal migrants a few years ago , glad she stopped singing as her songs were not exactly high end .
