Film in Limerick, an initiative of Limerick City and County Council, has welcomed the production of the second season of the fantasy drama television series, The Wayfinders, which is currently shooting throughout Limerick and the broader Mid-West region.

Filming has recently concluded in Newcastle West, where the production team spent the month on location. The international series is being produced by Limerick's Dark Day Pictures in collaboration with US production firm Arrowstorm.

Film in Limerick is working closely with the project to facilitate regional filming while optimizing benefits for local suppliers, trainees, and crew. Through the National Talent Academy South, which is delivered by Film in Limerick, emerging crew members are participating in structured placements and professional development opportunities directly attached to the project. Over 70% of the current crew is based locally, and more than 50 regional businesses are providing services across transport, accommodation, construction, catering, and technical support.

The Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport, Patrick O'Donovan TD, visited the production on set at Desmond Castle in Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. During the visit, the Minister met with the cast, crew, and trainees enrolled in the on-set development programmes.

Filming is scheduled to continue through the summer across various sites in Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, and Offaly, featuring numerous historic regional landmarks. Joining the Minister on location were the Cathaoirleach of Newcastle West Municipal District, Cllr Michael Collins, alongside Cllr Tom Ruddle, Regional Film Manager Paul C Ryan, producers Stephen Hall, Kynan Griffin and Jennifer Griffin, and Rachel Power from the National Talent Academy Crew Hub South, among other local representatives.

The production is supported by Ireland's Section 481 audiovisual tax incentive.
