The Mallorca Files will head to Amazon Prime Video for a third season.
Set on the sun-drenched and glamorous Spanish island of Mallorca, the series follows ambitious British detective Miranda Blake (Elen Rhys, Consent, The One That Got Away) and her laid-back German partner, Max Winter (Julian Looman, The Ibiza Affair, Constellation). They make the perfect team – if only they could see it.
Originally airing in 2019 in a daytime slot on BBC One, The Mallorca Files is co-produced by Cosmopolitan Pictures and BBC Studios production label Clerkenwell Films. Cosmopolitan founder Ben Donald and Clerkenwell’s co-MD Wim de Greef are executive producers, along with series creator, showrunner, and lead writer Dan Sefton.
Now, the show is going international in a whole new way, with Season 3 set to premiere globally on Amazon Prime Video this summer. The new season will be made available to Prime Video customers in select territories around the globe, including the UK, USA, Germany, Australia and Mexico.
Season 3 will feature high-stakes adventures, treasure hunts, arson, kidnappings and murders, as Max and Miranda’s personal tensions and odd-couple partnership are put to the test. Overseeing their cases is the mercurial and volatile Inés Villegas (María Fernández Ache, Lost in Karastan). International guest stars will include Enrique Arce (Money Heist), Philippe Brenninkmeyer (Mad Men), Charlie Higson (The Fast Show), Michael Jibson (Bodies), David Mora (Memento Mori), Elena Saurel (Buffering) and Leonor Watling (Cities).
Ben Donald, executive producer of The Mallorca Files said: “Introducing global audiences to the stunning island of Mallorca and the world of Miranda and Max during the first two seasons of The Mallorca Files, was a blast. Elen and Julian created two engaging and loveable characters that found a special place in the hearts of millions of international viewers, so we are beyond thrilled to be working with Amazon MGM Studios and BBC Studios to bring the pair and their crime-solving chemistry back to screen. It’s wonderful that new viewers will be able to catch up on the stories to date, while the new season will see even more thrilling stories and action-packed sequences. And of course, the chemistry between Miranda and Max will continue to leave viewers guessing as to what happens next…”
“We’re so excited to partner with BBC Studios and the producing teams to continue the escapist adventure of The Mallorca Files in an all-new season,” said Lauren Anderson, Head of Brand and Content Innovation, Amazon MGM Studios. “Attracted to the chemistry of its leads solving interesting crimes in a gorgeous location, The Mallorca Files has a devoted fan base and there is no better way to celebrate the show than to offer the entire series on Prime Video to loyal fans and new viewers alike.”
Mark Linsey, President of Scripted, BBC Studios Productions said, “We are excited for [creator] Dan Sefton and the production teams at Cosmopolitan Pictures and Clerkenwell Films to be bringing The Mallorca Files back for a third season and for it to be finding a new audience with Amazon MGM Studios. As we continue to embrace our premium ad-supported partners, this deal showcases a new way in how BBC Studios can tap into our vast catalogue to collaborate and create the next chapter for some of our fan-favorite characters.”
