Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and David Tennant in London: Where The Joy of Sex was filmed

The Joy of Sex

In 1972, Dr. Alex Comfort published The Joy of Sex – a straightforwardly illustrated guide to human sexuality that became one of the bestselling books of the decade, sold 12 million copies worldwide and permanently altered the landscape of publishing. The story behind how it came to exist is, by all accounts, extraordinary. And now it is being made into a film in London.

The Joy of Sex – the story behind the 1970s sex manual – is currently filming in London, directed by Sharon Maguire (Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget Jones's Baby). Filming began in July and August 2026 and is ongoing. The cast includes Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Julianne Moore, David Tennant and Jason Watkins.

In early August 2026, film crews were spotted filming at The Clapham Grand on St John's Hill in Clapham Junction – the grand Victorian music hall and theatre built in 1900, its ornate terracotta facade and elaborate interior making it one of south London's most visually distinctive period venues. 

No release date has been confirmed. Filming is ongoing.

Where was Below filmed? St. John's, Pouch Cove, Brigus South and the Icy waters of Newfoundland

The production of Netflix's new six-part suspense thriller series Below made one fundamental decision from the start: no green screens, no soundstages. Filming took place entirely on location in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, between July and October 2025, in small coastal communities on the Avalon Peninsula that locals had never seen transformed into a film set before.

Here's where Sacrifice was filmed: from Santorini's active volcano to the Prohodna Cave in Bulgaria

Every morning, the cast and crew climbed a volcano. The hike took almost an hour. Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy at the top, looking out across the Aegean, waiting for Romain Gavras to call action. "You're just looking around at the majesty of the world," Evans told Variety. "It's easy to completely lose yourself, as you would if there weren't a film crew capturing your every move."
