Chris Lilley filming new Netflix TV series on the Gold Coast

NOTORIOUSLY private comedic actor Chris Lilley is in the middle of shooting his latest series on the Gold Coast. Not that you’d know it, as he’s somehow managing to steer clear of prying cameras

CHRIS Lilley has set up camp on the Gold Coast.

The controversial comedian, who is currently filming a new unnamed Netflix series in Queensland, has yet to be spotted at any Games events during his lengthy stay on the glitter strip, however he has been sighted out and about.

The notoriously private actor and director is staying in a house in Mermaid Beach while he films the comedy series, keeping a low profile away from the global media presence in town.

But Confidential spies have spotted the 43-year-old Sydneysider at local venues, including Alfred’s Diner on the Gold Coast Highway at Mermaid Beach.

Fans have also been seen taking selfies with him in Burleigh.

The 10-episode comedy series, which is yet to be given an official title, began filming last month and will continue through to June, and is expected to give the local economy a $6.35 million boost.

Lilley’s new project with Netflix is part of the Queensland Government’s $50 million production attraction strategy.

Netflix is also scheduled to begin production on its first-ever Australian original series, Tidelands, in Queensland later this year.
