Video: Trailer for Channel 4 drama Southcliffe
Adverts have appeared to promote Faversham-filmed drama Southcliffe.
The first promotions for the new Channel 4 mystery thriller have been shown and said the drama would be coming soon.
Shots of scenes from the around the town, including Market Place, can be seen in the trailer.
Filming for the show, which has a star cast including Rory Kinnear and Kaya Scodelario, took place across the town for several months last year.
Crews were spotted in The Mall, Market Place and in Edith Road.
One of the KM Group's newsrooms in Whitstable also became one of the locations for the drama, with the news editor, reporters, sub editors and advertising team all appearing as extras alongside the stars of the show.
The drama hit the headlines earlier this year when Faversham residents in Stonebridge Way mistook filming for a real-life crime scene on their doorsteps.
Southcliffe will tell the story of a fictional English market town devastated by a spate of shootings, which take place over a single day.
The drama will be seen through the eyes of a journalist returning to the town of his childhood.
It is thought the filming pumped £500,000 into the local economy.
The stars include Skyfall and Quantum of Solace star Rory Kinnear, Sean Harris, who played Fifield in the Ridley Scott’s sci-fi film Prometheus, and Shirley Henderson, who played Jude in Bridget Jones's Diary and Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
