Island-based crime drama The Mallorca Files is back for its third season , but now in the new home of Prime Video . Previously airing on BBC One as a daytime drama, the new eight-part season once again returns to the picturesque Spanish island for more sun, sea and criminal adventure. The light-hearted detective show, which stars Elen Rhys and Julian Looman as mismatched cops investigating crimes on the Spanish island, returned for a second season in February 2021 - so it's been quite a while without it on our screens.
There have been plenty of exciting locations used throughout all three seasons, so scroll on to find out more. Is The Mallorca Files filmed in Mallorca? Yes! Fittingly for a drama set on the Mediterranean island, The Mallorca Files was – in fact – filmed in Mallorca . Shooting for the new third season took place on the Spanish island from March to July 2023, and featured plenty of lovely locations including Plaza Cort in Palma .
Speaking about their favourite filming locations this time around, Rhys said in an interview with Express.co.uk : "The sea! Because we got to go on boats and jet skis, you know? So that was really cool.
Obviously it’s scaled up a bit." Looman said: "It’s the first time we left the island. Before, we were only on the island, and now we’re on the sea - it was great fun.
