After weeks of anticipation, Netflix’s brand new real-life drama Scoop is finally here! The big budget drama focuses on the gripping narrative surrounding Emily Maitlis' groundbreaking and now iconic Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew back in 2019.This broadcast sent shockwaves through the public, sparking widespread uproar over Prince Andrew's association with Jeffrey Epstein and ultimately lead to his withdrawal from public life as a Duke.

To coincide with the release, the show’s two leads, Gillian Anderson and Rufus Sewell took to social media to share a cheeky glimpse behind the scenes of production, including the application of prosthetics to transform them into the real life characters they were portraying.Taking to Instagram, the duo shared a carousel of images showing the transformation process, complete with plenty of silly faces to lighten the mood during the long process.

Captioning the photos, Gillian wrote: “Just a straightforward shooting week (and!) Scoop is out on Netflix today!” In the first of the images, a fresh faced Gillian could be seen smiling for the camera with her hair pushed back while Rufus began the prosthetics process with under-eye prostheses, a jowl, and a bald cap.

In the following images more layer soft prosthetics could be seen being applied to his face, with the seasoned actor embracing a more light-hearted expression as he toyed with the camera.Towards the end of the process, Gillian was also seen with a full face of makeup as she awaited her wig, meanwhile Rufus had been utterly transformed into the disgraced Prince, thanks to some make-up artistry magic, which saw fine lines and skin texture added onto the otherwise bare prosthetics.
