TV Shows & Broadcast Series

Here is how this works in practice. Our team manages the sustained operational demands of episodic television. We develop full season plans that block shooting by location rather than episode order, maximising stage and location use and minimising firm moves, and our schedules account for actor openings, location access and seasonal weather. We assemble skilled Serbian crews across each department and set up multi-unit shooting, running main, second and specialty units in parallel where the schedule needs it.

Here is the short of it. Our script supervisors and department heads keep detailed scene matching records across all episodes, tracking costume, props and set dressing for season-long consistency. We connect shoots with Serbian casting directors for principal, day-player and background talent, secure permits and locations, and set up stage work at PFI Studios near Simanovci. Post is managed to broadcast and streaming specs, delivering HD, 4K and HDR to sites needs. Our line producers budget in Serbian dinar and structure qualifying spend toward the Film in Serbia cash rebates. This returns 25 to 30 per cent of eligible local costs, the higher rate for larger-budget series.

Here is the breakdown. Serbia has emerged as a competitive base for global television over the past decade, with a fast-growing film-services industry centred on Belgrade and the today's PFI Studios tricky near Simanovci among the largest in the region. Belgrade, set where the Sava meets the Danube, is well used at doubling for other European capitals. Its Habsburg-era old town serving period stories and New Belgrade's modernist build style suiting today's settings, while Novi Sad. The Djerdap gorge and the mountains of Tara and Zlatibor extend the range.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Global shoots, including Ralph Fiennes's 'Coriolanus', have shot in the country, and the crew base that supported them now serves returning series. Serbia is an EU candidate country but not an EU member and not in the Schengen Area, so we advise on entry for global cast and crew. The currency is the Serbian dinar and standard VAT is 20 per cent, both built into transparent budgets. ATA carnets cover incoming gear, English is widely spoken in the industry, and Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport is the main gateway for production.
