Cyprus Production Service Delivers Key Location Support for Netflix Thriller Bogotá: City of the Lost

Cyprus Film Production Company CPS Powers Netflix’s Bogotá: City of the Lost

Limassol, Cyprus – February 2025 – In a milestone for Cyprus film production, Cyprus Production Service (CPS) proudly announces its pivotal role in bringing the Netflix global thriller Bogotá: City of the Lost to life. As the official production partner for the Cyprus-filmed sequences, CPS delivered seamless on-the-ground execution, logistics, and full local support, reaffirming Cyprus’s rising status as a premier film destination in the Mediterranean.

Starring South Korean A-listers Song Joong-ki, Lee Hee-joon, and Kwon Hae-hyo, Bogotá: City of the Lost follows a powerful narrative set in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The story centers on Guk-hee, a 19-year-old Korean migrant who moves with his family to Colombia, only to become entangled in the underworld economy of Bogotá. The film’s gritty realism, emotional depth, and sweeping visuals demanded dynamic international locations, and Cyprus delivered.

The Cyprus scenes were filmed in 2021 across stunning Mediterranean landscapes that doubled for Bogotá’s outskirts and urban sprawl. CPS, under the leadership of veteran producer Alexander Papacosta, served as Line Producer for the Cyprus segments. The CPS team managed everything from location scouting, permits, and crew hiring to equipment rentals and health protocols, navigating the complexities of post-pandemic travel and compliance with skill and precision.

“Cyprus offered the ideal backdrop for the film’s international storyline,” said Alexander Papacosta. “Our team at CPS worked closely with the Korean production company to deliver cinematic scale, local expertise, and a smooth workflow from prep to wrap.”

This high-profile Netflix release is the latest in a growing list of international projects managed by Cyprus Production Service, a company that has become synonymous with top-tier Cyprus film production.
