BBC set to air new crime drama The Mallorca Files

BBC are set air a 10-part crime drama from Dan Sefton, the writer behind hits such as The Good Karma Hospital, Trust Me, Delicious and Porters for BBC One Daytime and iPlayer.

The Mallorca Files, set amongst the expat community on the eponymous Spanish island, features a British and German detective clashing over their very different approaches to policing the island. While self-confessed introverted Brit Miranda Blake takes her career (as well as everything else in life) seriously, German Max Wolf is a classic extrovert and unashamedly unconventional. The combination of these two characters and the sun-drenched setting sets the stage for humour as well as thrills, as the duo do battle to solve each new crime.

The Mallorca Files (w/t) is a Cosmopolitan Pictures/ Clerkenwell Films co-production for the BBC, distributed by BBC Studios. It will begin production in November this year and air on BBC One in 2019. Casting is yet to be confirmed.

The Mallorca Files is the first production greenlit for Cosmopolitan Pictures, the independent production company founded by Ben Donald in 2014. It has been created with his production partners at Clerkenwell Films and commissioned by Controller of BBC Programming and Daytime, Dan McGolpin.

The Mallorca Files will broadcast on BBC One Daytime day by day, and all ten episodes will also drop on to BBC iPlayer on the first day of transmission.
