Filming has begun in Paphos, Cyprus, for the Danish version of the popular reality show Roast on the Coast. This show, known for its humorous pranks in which comedians joke around with each other during vacations, has gained popularity in Northern Europe.
Lefteris Eleftheriou, head of the Cyprus Film Commission, confirmed that the commission has approved the production of three versions of the show for Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The rights to Roast on the Coast are held by Banijay, one of the largest global content production and distribution companies.

Amazon Prime is making a notable investment in this project and has selected Cyprus as the location for filming. This opens up new opportunities for collaboration, positioning Cyprus as an attractive destination for international productions.
The most recent season of Roast on the Coast, which aired in May, was filmed in Marbella, Spain, where comedian Linda P. invited five well-known Danish comedians to join her for a vacation full of comedic challenges and pranks.
Additionally, the Cyprus Film Commission has revealed plans to implement a green filming policy. Eleftheriou shared that this initiative is currently under review by the Ministry of Finance. As eco-friendly production practices are gaining importance at major global film festivals, Cyprus is eager to meet these standards and attract even more international projects to the island.
