On Location

HBO Europe has long run a major Central-European original-drama base in Prague, and series such as Carnival Row, The Wheel of Time, The Musketeers, and Knightfall have shot here on the strength of Barrandov Studios and deep crews.

Here is how this works in practice. We provide full-service shoots support for scripted drama series, setting up the sustained logistics that episodic production demands. Long-form drama means scene matching across months of shooting. Our team manages the rolling machinery: crew across all departments, recurring location bookings, gear held over the schedule, and the cast and supporting-artist coordination a series needs. Producers handle location scouting and permits, set construction and dressing, transport, and the daily operations of a unit that may move between Prague studios and exterior locations across the country.

Here is the short of it. We help global productions with co-production structuring, Czech Film Fund applications, and the 20% rebate on qualifying spend, and we provide bilingual crew and production running so foreign showrunners and Czech departments work as one team. Period drama is a specific strength — the country's historic locations, costume houses, and prop suppliers support large-scale costume productions. From a domestic broadcast series to a streaming-sites drama, we build a production plan tied to the episode count, schedule, and creative drive.

Here is the breakdown. The Czech Republic is one of Europe's most established drama-production bases. Prague has hosted HBO Europe's Central-European first programming for years. The country's service infrastructure — Barrandov Studios, Stillking Films, and a deep, English-speaking crew base — has supported global series including Carnival Row, The Wheel of Time, The Musketeers, and Knightfall. Public TV networks Česká televize and commercial channels TV Nova and Prima sustain a steady domestic drama output, keeping writers, directors, and department heads steady employed.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The country's filmmaking pedigree runs deep, from the Czechoslovak New Wave of the 1960s to Oscar-winning directors Miloš Forman, Jiří Menzel, and Jan Svěrák. Practical advantages reinforce the creative depth: the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebate, competitive costs in Czech koruna, a 21% VAT environment, and a compact geography offering everything from Baroque cityscapes to castles and mountain landscapes. For producers planning a series, the Czech Republic combines tested episodic capacity with genuine production value.
