The TV series Love Rat, which was filmed in Cyprus under the island's incentives scheme for the UK's Channel 5, has surged to number 3 in the UK after being picked up by Netflix.
Posting the news on LinkedIn, Lefteris Eleftheriou, Chairman of the Cyprus Film Commission, said: "Today, on May 20th, 2025, the series has surged to number 3 in the UK, climbing from number 4 just yesterday. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Cyprus as it solidifies its position as a key regional filming destination. Congratulations to everyone involved in this success!"
The drama Love Rat is an escapist fantasy which transforms into a terrifying psychological thriller, made by Chalkboard’s scripted sister company, Clapperboard and distributed internationally by Entertainment One (eOne).
Key casting includes Sally Lindsay leading the ensemble cast, and joined alongside by Neil Morrissey, Gerald Kyd and Ramon Tikaram.
Cyprus Film Commissioner Lefteris Eleftheriou said this was the first British TV series to be filmed in Cyprus, adding that he was convinced more will follow.
The four-part series (4 x 60’’) follows recently divorced Emma, played by Sally Lindsay (The Madame Blanc Mysteries) as she enjoys a whirlwind holiday romance with charming hotel proprietor, Niko, played by Gerald Kyd (Casualty, The Split) on the paradise island of Cyprus. When she realises that Niko and his partner-in-crime George, played by Ramon Tikaram (Pennyworth, Brassic, The Great), have scammed her out of her life savings, she embarks on a dangerous mission to get her money back, aided by ex-husband Pete, played by Neil Morrissey (Finders Keepers, Line of Duty, Unforgotten).
