Malta in the Spotlight: Great Siege Drama Series to Roll Cameras Here

Imagine this: the sun dipping low over the Grand Harbour, the Three Cities silhouetted against the sky, and a bustling film crew setting up shop in the very heart of Malta’s rich history. This isn’t a scene from a tourist brochure, but a snapshot of what’s to come as a major new drama series, ‘The Great Siege’, begins filming on our islands.

From Page to Screen: The Great Siege’s Malta Connection

The Great Siege of Malta, a pivotal moment in European history, will now take centre stage in a gripping new drama series. Written by BAFTA-winning screenwriter Simon Ashdown, the show promises to bring the 1565 siege to life in a way that’s never been seen before. But what makes this production even more exciting is that it’s set to be filmed right here in Malta.

Malta’s historic sites, from the ancient city walls of Mdina to the grand fortifications of Fort St. Elmo, will serve as the perfect backdrop for this epic tale. The series will not only bring history to life but also offer a unique opportunity for locals to witness the magic of filmmaking firsthand.

What Does This Mean for Malta?

With ‘The Great Siege’ set to start filming later this year, there’s a lot to look forward to. Here are a few reasons why this is big news for Malta:

    • Economic Boost: The film industry brings in significant revenue, creating jobs and stimulating local businesses. According to the Malta Film Commission, the industry contributed over €70 million to the Maltese economy in 2020 alone.
    • Tourism Spotlight: A high-profile production like ‘The Great Siege’ can put Malta on the map, attracting visitors eager to explore the locations they’ve seen on screen.
    • Cultural Exchange: Film productions bring together talented individuals from all over the world. This exchange of ideas and creativity can enrich Malta’s cultural scene.

So, as we gear up for the arrival of ‘The Great Siege’, let’s celebrate another exciting chapter in Malta’s film history. After all, it’s not every day that our islands get to star in their own story.
