In the latest trailer promoting the new series, John Simm and Richie Campbell are spotted with fellow crew members in a number of scene snapshots.

This includes a meeting with the West Pier in the background, a crime scene at Hove Lagoon, and scenes believed to be filmed at Brighton Marina.

The new series will have four episodes.

These episodes come after crews were spotted for the first time this year back in April as they began preparing for the upcoming series.

In May, ITV crews descended on a closed city centre nightclub for filming.

The former PopWorld club in West Street, Brighton, was used for two days of shooting on May 7 and 8.

It was transformed into a bomb factory with fake smoke spotted by nearby residents.

Cast members of the hit ITV series including John Simm were then spotted in Kemp Town towards the end of the month, with Sussex Square closed for filming.

In June, John Simm and Richie Campbell were spotted again in Eaton Place, Kemp Town, during a heatwave as they cooled down with ice lollies between shoots.

The stars, who play the two detectives in the series, also ventured further afield for some scenes.

The cast was spotted at Southwick Community Centre in Southwick, just a few miles west of Brighton.

The centre, which is used for community events and shows, was transformed into a hospice for filming as tables and signage were replaced with oxygen tanks, wheelchairs and stage dressing.

Scenes were also shot in the community centre car park.

The crew also filmed scenes in the nearby Southlands Hospital in Shoreham, with two hospital staff starring as extras in the programme.

The first episode will air on September 1.
