Nadia Parkes to Star in Untitled UK Indie Film on Stripper and Dominatrix, London Filming Set to Start This Month

Filming is set to begin in London this month on an untitled UK independent feature described as a dark comedy about a stripper and a dominatrix, according to an exclusive report from Deadline. Nadia Parkes, a British actress associated with roles in the BBC drama Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story and Netflix’s The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, is attached to star in the project.

Deadline’s report frames the film as being rooted in the sex industry, centering on characters who work as a stripper and a dominatrix. While specific plot points, the working title, and release timing were not provided in the excerpt, the report describes the project as an indie feature and indicates that principal photography is scheduled to start in London during June.

The film is being developed by co-writers and co-directors Sophie Cohen and Michael Lindsay, who are listed by Deadline as the creative leads behind the script and direction. The involvement of both Cohen and Lindsay in writing and directing is presented in the report as a key part of the project’s creative setup.

Deadline also identifies Parkes as the lead actor and places the announcement within the broader context of her recent television work, citing her performances in the BBC’s Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story and the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. The report positions Parkes’s casting as a continuation of her profile across mainstream streaming and broadcast projects.

The report does not state additional cast members, filming locations beyond London, or production details such as the specific producing companies, budget, or the full production team. It also does not provide information on whether the film will include established UK production schemes, union arrangements, or specific content safeguards, which are typically addressed in later casting and production updates.

For now, the main confirmed timeline element is the start of filming in London this month, with Cohen and Lindsay serving as co-writers and co-directors and Parkes attached as the star. Additional information may follow as casting announcements, production permits, or distribution plans are released ahead of the film’s eventual premiere or acquisition.
