A MAJOR international series production being shot in Limerick is expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the region.
Pre-production of epic fantasy series, The Wayfinders, at Troy Studios and on location is underway.
Set in a richly imagined world of myth, magic, and ancient conflict, The Wayfinders follows a band of unlikely heroes as they journey through a fractured realm in search of unity, purpose, and power.
Paul C Ryan, regional film manager at Film in Limerick, commented said that “we were thrilled to bring the pilot to the region and are even more excited to see the full series now filming in Limerick and the wider region”.
“It’s a testament to the talent of our local crews, the quality of our facilities, and the growing reputation of the Mid West as a leading hub for film and television production.”
The series is described as featuring immersive storytelling, striking visuals, and a cast of both rising stars and familiar faces.
The pilot episode was filmed in the region in late 2023 starring Mackenzie Crook (The Office and Pirates of the Carribean), and directed by Glen Winter who has worked on TV series including Smallville and Arrow and the 2023 DC film The Flash.
The production, from US-based Arrowstorm and Limerick’s Dark Day Pictures, is expected to generate hundreds of local jobs and bring significant economic impact to the area.
Producer Stephen Hall of Dark Day Pictures said the company was “thrilled to bring The Wayfinders season one back to Limerick and the region”.
“As a Limerick local, it’s so exciting to be making our magical show in the region and putting our wonderful locations and talented crew front and centre,on the world stage.
“The support from the councils, businesses, and the community has been incredible. We have so much to offer in the Mid West, it’s quite special to build the film community here with the help of Film In Limerick and the talent of the local crew.”
Filming is set to resume later this month with further announcements regarding casting and release dates expected in the coming weeks.
