A WEST Dorset beach resort can be seen in a trailer released for the new series of a hit Netflix show.
Beaches in Lyme Regis are visible in the background of the newly-released trailer for the much anticipated third series of Heartstopper.
Film crews took to Lyme in October of last year to shoot the coming-of-age drama.
Characters from the show can be seen in the trailer eating fish and chips with the town's iconic Cobb in the background.
In another scene, they are enjoying a beach day in Lyme Regis.
Production crews were spotted at both Monmouth and Sandy beaches in the resort, with filming equipment seen dotted along the beach.
Filming also took place in Broad Street, on the South West Coast Path and in Langmoor and Lister Gardens.

Production company See-Saw Productions sent a letter to residents letting them know that filming was scheduled for between October 2 and 5 of last year.
The letter told residents film crews were 'endeavouring to keep disruption to a minimum.'
Heartstopper stars Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Stephen Fry and Olivia Colman.
It follows the story of Charlie Spring (Locke), a gay schoolboy who falls in love with classmate Nick Nelson (Connor), whom he sits next to in his new form. It is based on Alice Oseman's successful LGBTQ+ webcomics for young adults.
This series will see the group of friends preparing for the beginning of their sixth form studies as well as outlining their ambitions for the future.
Following a day at the beach, the trailer teases that the friendship group will become fractured over the course of the year, whilst Nick’s relationship with Charlie (Joe Locke) is tested due to the latter’s personal demons.
Lyme businesses received a boost from the internationally popular teen dram being filmed in the resort last year.

Trader Dan Archer, of Lyme Regis Antiques and Craft Centre, said: "It is good to bring in a few more people to the town.
"Anything that puts Lyme Regis on the map is of course a good thing for local businesses."
Lyme Regis has proven a popular filming location, with scenes for the upcoming Wonka movie filmed on the Cobb.
In March 2019, crowds excitedly gathered near the town's seafront to catch a glimpse of Kate Winslett and Saoirse Ronan as they filmed Ammonite.
Season 3 of Heartstopper premieres on Netflix on Thursday, October 3.
