TV Shows & Broadcast Series

Here is how this works in practice. We give full production support for TV shows and broadcast series in Malta, setting up the sustained operation episodic television needs — crew across each department, gear sourcing, location logistics and the day-to-day scheduling that holds a multi-week or multi-month shoot together. Our producers manage block-shooting plans, recurring location access and the scene matching of standing crews across a series run.

Here is the short of it. Malta's compact scale is a structural advantage for broadcast production: most locations sit within a 30 to 45 minute drive of a single base, so episodes that range widely in story stay efficient on the unit moves that otherwise erode episodic budgets. We set up Malta Film Commission liaison — a state one-stop-shop for permits, police, Transport Malta and Heritage Malta — and guide shoots through the cash rebates of up to 40% on eligible expenditure, paid post-prod. EU gear moves without carnets. We supplement crew and pro gear from Sicily, Italy or the UK as a series scales.

Here is the breakdown. Malta has serviced global screen shoots since the 1920s, giving broadcast series a deep, skilled crew base to draw on. The islands deliver great production value within a small archipelago: Valletta, a UNESCO baroque capital of honey-coloured limestone built by the Knights of St John, the medieval 'Silent City' of Mdina, the vast Knights' fortifications of Fort Ricasoli and the Three Cities, Gozo's countryside, and Malta Film Studios at Kalkara with its horizon water tank.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The Mediterranean climate gives around 300 days of sunshine a year and long, dependable shooting seasons that protect demanding broadcast schedules. English is an official language alongside Maltese and universally spoken, so cast contracts, crew briefings and broadcast forms run without friction, while Italian is widely understood across the region. Malta's Eurozone, Schengen status keeps global cast travel and budget work straightforward, and the screen sector is actively supported by the Malta Film Commission, the Malta Film Awards and the Mediterrane Film Festival.
