A major new TV series produced by CBS UK choses the Isle of wight to film some exterior scenes for their new series ‘The Man who fell to Earth which premieres on the 24th April 2022.

Based on the film of the same name that starred David Bowie, the series stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as an alien who crashes deep into the oilfields of New Mexico with a mission: he must find the brilliant scientist Justin Falls (Naomie Harris), the one woman on earth who can help save his species. Even as he struggles to adapt to our world and to become more “human,” her faith in humanity couldn’t be lower. An unlikely duo, together they discover that in order to save his world, they must first save ours.

The crew spent a day filming the cliffs along Military Road near Freshwater where we caught up with them for a chat about filming on the Island. (Video below)
