Film in Limerick proudly welcomes back a major international production as filming begins on the epic fantasy series, The Wayfinders, at Troy Studios and on location throughout the region.

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. Featuring immersive storytelling, striking visuals, and a cast of both rising stars and familiar faces, the series promises to captivate fans of high fantasy worldwide.

Pre-production is now underway in Limerick, following the successful filming of the pilot episode in the region in October 2023. The pilot starred Mackenzie Crook (The Office, Pirates of the Caribbean) and was directed by Glen Winter (Smallville, Arrow, The Flash).

Paul C. Ryan, Regional Film Manager at Film in Limerick, commented, “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 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 added, “We’re thrilled to bring The Wayfinders Season 1 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 center, on the world stage.

“The support from the councils, businesses and the community has been incredible. We have so much to offer in the Midwest, it’s quite special to build the film community here with the help of Film In Limerick and the talent of the local crew.”

With pre-production already underway, filming is set to begin later this month. Further announcements regarding casting and release dates are expected in the coming weeks.Supported by the Southill Family Resource Centre and the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board.  Book your tickets for this side-splittingly funny journey of reflection and discovery as the cast trek through the Burren.
