Screentime New Zealand has renewed A Remarkable Place to Die<\/em> for an expanded second season, with filming commencing at Remarkable Studios.<\/p>\n

The crime drama will return with an expanded six-feature-length episode run, produced by Screentime New Zealand in co-production with ZDF and Real Film Berlin in association with global distributor, Banijay Rights. Lead broadcasters include ZDF (Germany), Acorn TV (U.S.), Nine Network (Australia) and TVNZ (New Zealand).<\/p>\n

The series was created by Philly de Lacey and John Banas, with scripts by Banas and Dahnu Graham. A Remarkable Place to Die<\/em> is directed by Peter Burger, Josh Frizzell, Emmett Skilton, Victoria Boult and Charlie Haskell. Executive producers for Real Film Berlin include de Lacey, Henning Kamm and Sibylle Stellbrink, as well as Don Klees for Acorn TV.<\/p>\n

Joining Chelsie Preston-Crayford, the expanded ensemble cast includes returning talent Matt Whelan, Roimata Fox, Dahnu Graham and Michala Banas, and new cast members Luke Arnold, JJ Fong and guest cast Roger Corser and Antonia Prebble.<\/p>\n

De Lacey, creator and CEO of Screentime New Zealand, said: \u201cThis renewal is more than continuing a great international co-production, it\u2019s about building a sustainable industry in Queenstown\/T\u0101huna, showcasing our culture to the world, and creating opportunities for local talent. Filmed entirely in the region and utilizing our own Remarkable Studios, this production showcases New Zealand\u2019s stunning scenery, sense of humor and vibrant character, bringing major investment in the local economy through high regional spend and new employment opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadia Tolich, chief news and content officer at TVNZ, said: \u201cA Remarkable Place to Die<\/em> continues to set a new benchmark for local drama, uniting exceptional talent and storytelling that resonates with audiences both here and abroad. We\u2019re proud to support a series that not only delivers compelling entertainment but also champions the unique voice and landscape of Aotearoa on the global stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank Seyberth, head of co-production at ZDF International Fiction, said: \u201cFor us, New Zealand might be on the other side of the world, and yet it is very close to the hearts of our viewers. The way our audience connected with characters like Anais and her team over season one is a great testimony to the fruitfulness of this type of international collaboration, and we can’t wait to present an extended season two to crime-hungry fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kamm, CEO of Real Film Berlin, and Stellbrink said: \u201cWe are thrilled to begin principal photography on the second season of A Remarkable Place to Die<\/em>. Thanks to our wonderful team and the fantastic, trusting collaboration with our partners, we will be shooting not just four, but six episodes. We are very grateful for the best co-production we could have hoped for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
