Sienna Miller spotted in Sussex filming new Netflix series

The American Sniper star was pictured on the pebbles with fellow actor Rupert Friend, of Homeland and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, as well as two child actors.

The group were shooting scenes from the upcoming Netflix adaptation of Sarah Vaughan's best-selling book, Anatomy of a Scandal.

This tells the story of a married Westminster politician, played by Rupert Friend, and his wife, Sienna Miller.

Friend's character is accused of raping his aide and, while his partner remains convinced he is innocent, a prosecuting barrister is certain he committed the crime.

TV writer and producer David E. Kelley, the crator of hit series Big Little Lies, has been tasked with taking the complex tale from the page to the screen.

The exact location of the filming is currently unknown, with the Daily Mail reporting that Rupert Friend and Sienna Miller had been spotted on a beach in East Sussex.

A release date for the series is yet to be announced.

Sienna Miller was born in New York in 1981, but was raised in London after her family moving back to the UK when she was just 18 months old.

As an actor, she has starred alongside the likes of Daniel Craig, Susan Sarandon, Heath Ledger and Steve Buscemi in hit films such as Layer Cake, Alfie and The Edge of Love.

For the latter, she received a British Independent Film Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
