Malaysia continues to shine as a top destination for international film and TV productions.

In 2024, Marvel Studios brought global attention to the nation by filming a scene for Thunderbolts at the iconic Merdeka 118.

More recently, the Netherlands has selected Malaysia as the backdrop for its upcoming series Hemelrijk.

Co-produced by local production house Kinovisuals and New Amsterdam Film Company, this project marks the first official Malaysia-Netherlands television co-production.

Spanning five episodes, Hemelrijk began production on March 24, with a nine-week shoot across Hulu Langat, Cameron Highlands and Kuala Lumpur.

About 80 Malaysian crew members will collaborate with 20 Dutch cast and crew.
