The Minister responsible for Tourism Dr Edward Zammit Lewis visited the set of Apocalypse Slough, a TV drama currently filming in Malta featuring impressive scenes and high profile cast members, where he met American film actor Rob Lowe.

Minister Zammit Lewis said that this year there is an ever increasing number of high profile productions scheduled to take place in Malta. The local film industry keeps showing considerable growth and is becoming a major contributor to the country’s economy.

Apocalypse Slough will debut on Sky 1 later this year.

Apocalypse Slough is a 10-part comedy-drama series about the last days of mankind, and is set in the Berkshire town of Slough in the UK.

The story follows an eclectic group of seemingly unconnected characters around the world as their lives start to intersect in the most unexpected ways. All triggered by the news that a comet is on an unavoidable collision course towards earth.

It features a very strong line up of actors, with talent from both sides of the Atlantic, including five time Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Rob Lowe (West Wing), BAFTA Award nominee Mathew Baynton (Yonderland), Emmy Award nominee Jenna Fischer (The Office), Emmy Award winner and four time Golden Globe nominee Megan Mullally (Will and Grace), BAFTA® Award nominee Pauline Quirke (Birds of a Feather), Paterson Joseph (Peep Show) and Joel Fry (Game of Thrones).
