What Happens at Night, the highly anticipated film by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, is part of a broad wave of major productions being filmed in Czech Republic this year.
This was shot between Prague (at various locations and in studios), and the Central Bohemian and Ústí regions. Produced by Apple Studios in collaboration with STUDIOCANAL, the film tells the story of a married American couple traveling to a small, snowy European town to adopt a child, and is based on the novel by Peter Cameron.
The fourth season of the series Foundation (Apple TV+) is among the big-budget titles which will be soon shot in the country; in the meantime, Czech Republic continue to host a wide range of international productions, with a particularly strong presence of German projects.
Production has begun on the feature film Fellinger, directed by Ed Herzog and produced by Producers at Work Film, as well as the fifth season of the historical series Charité. Further German productions include the series Mabuse, directed by Boris Kunz, Breakthrough (directed by Christian Alvart and produced by Odeon Fiction for Apple TV+), and Die Burg (produced by W&B Television for Amazon).
Additional German series in production include Pope Joan, directed by Kathrin Gebbe and produced by Constantin Film, and Wondering Harlot for Disney+. Alongside these, a German-Swiss co-production, the series Davos 1923, is also filming, produced by Letterbox Filmproduktion and Contrast Film.
A British TV series is currently in production as well—an adaptation of Legacy of Spies by John le Carré, produced by The Ink Factory. Meanwhile, location scouting is underway for the American project Birdwatcher, produced by Legendary Television and Apple.
French company Radar Films is preparing the project Loups-Garous 2: Renaissance, while the Korean fiction series Four Hands is being produced by KNT Production and Studio N.
