First look at Harry Styles' new LGBTQ+ film My Policeman

Set in Brighton in 1957, My Policeman sees the As It Was musician take on the role of Tom Burgess, a policeman who is secretly gay at a time when homosexuality was illegal.

While dating a schoolteacher named Marion, Tom embarks on a romance with a museum curator named Patrick Hazelwood.

Cast and crew of the upcoming drama were seen shooting scenes near the Royal Pavilion in Brighton

Filming for the drama, produced by Amazon Studios, took place last year across the city, with shooting taking place at the Royal Pavilion and the Palace Pier, as well as at locations in Saltdean, Peacehaven and Newhaven.

The film, streaming worldwide from November 4, is based on a 2012 novel by Bethan Robert of the same name and sees Harry Styles act alongside Emma Corrin and David Dawson - star of BBC crime drama Luther and ITV’s Coronation Street.
