Despite great secrecy SUR can confirm that Malaga city and the province will be used to film scenes set in central Europe during the height of the Nazi regime for a Disney+ miniseries.

The project by Hulu, part of Disney+, is adapting the novel We Were the Lucky Ones about a Jewish family's true story of survival.

According to the Hollywood magazine Deadline, this production was confirmed a year ago with the starring role going to the American actress Joey King, the girl from My First Kiss and whose last work united her with Brad Pitt in the thriller Bullet Train.

The mini series will feature an ensemble cast to adapt the tale of survival described in the debut novel by Georgia Hunter based on her own family's story.

We Were the Lucky Ones is about the Kurcs, a well-to-do Jewish family in Poland who, despite the growing threat of the Nazis, try to live a normal life. However, as barbarism and the systematic annihilation of the Jews is unleashed, three generations of this family are separated in German ghettos, farms and factories as they try to escape death and extermination.

Alongside Joey King, the cast of this war drama also includes Logan Lerman (the star of the Percy Jackson saga), Robin Weigert (Deadwood), Michael Aloni (Plan A), Henry Lloyd Hughes (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Hadas Yaron (The Heart Has Its Reasons), Lior Ashkenazi (Golda), Ido Samuel (FBI: International) and Lihi Kornowski (Crimes of the Future), among others.

Filming of the eight-episode mini series has already begun in Bucharest, Romania, from where the film crew will move to Malaga, where filming will continue in May, SUR has confirmed. The scenes to be filmed in the city and province are shrouded in secrecy.

The production partner in Spain is Fresco Film, the Malaga-based services production company behind many of the major international fiction titles shot in Spain in recent years, such as Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and Narcos: Mexico among many others.
