The Mediapro Studio Heads to the Sahara for ‘The Head’ Season 3 as CEO Laura Fernandez Espeso Pinpoints Growth Strategies at Mipcom Keynote (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comThe Mediapro Studio will shoot from November Season 3 of “The Head,” its biggest international hit, filming in the Sahara Desert with John Lynch (“The Fall”) and Katharine O’Donnelly (“Mary Queen of Scots), attached once more to star.
Olivia Morris also returns to her role as Rachel Russo, the morally conscionable daughter of ambition-crazed biologist Arthur Wilde, played by Lynch. “The Head” Season 1 took place at an Antarctic research station cut off in winter, Season 2 on a hulking freighter at mid-Pacific’s Point Nemo, the most distant place on earth from nearest land. “The locations for this series have been a fundamental part of the show itself, always in an inaccessible place,” Laura Fernández Espeso, The Mediapro Studio CEO, told Variety before talking at a Mipcom Media Mastermind Keynote on Tuesday. “This time we’ll be shooting in the desert: ‘The Head 3’ will take place in an unknown place in the Sahara desert, in an unusual place that most people never heard of.
A land with no owner. A land where there is no law. The perfect location for a risky experiment with human subjects,” she added. “The Head” Season 3 will film in Tenerife where TMS also shot Season 1 and Season 2, and at locations in Almeria, southern Spain, for exteriors.
