Ben Whishaw, an acclaimed British actor, nearly caused a serious accident while filming the second season of "Black Doves" in London. During a scene where he was driving a car, the vehicle inexplicably lurched forward and almost went off a bridge, but instead hit a brick wall. The incident occurred on November 2, 2026, according to Whishaw's statement at a launch event for the show.
Whishaw expressed relief that no one was harmed in what he described as "two seconds of horror." The actor, known for his roles in productions such as "This Is Going to Hurt," and who has won three Baftas, assured everyone involved that it was an isolated incident and emphasized his commitment to safety on set.
The second season of the thriller series also stars Sarah Lancashire, Andrew Buchan, Ella Lily Hyland, and Gabrielle Creevy, among others. The show can be streamed on Netflix starting November 2026.
