VALLETTA, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- Malta Film Commission (MFC) revealed on Tuesday that a TV drama series 'Apocalypse Slough' would be partly shot in Malta.

MFC commissioner Engelbert Grech said, "We are proud to have such a high-concept new dramedy with such a rich and talented cast filming in Malta. I believe that the new cash rebates and the consistent marketing drive that the Malta Film Commission has put together are bearing fruit."

The 10-part series will also star Jenna Fischer from the American version of The Office, Will and Grace's Megan Mullally, Mathew Baynton from The Wrong Mans, and Birds of a Feather's Pauline Quirke.

The series will be directed by Emmy-nominated Michael Engler and is written by Iain Hollands who is known for his work on Beaver Falls.

Apocalypse Slough will also be shot in the UK and South Africa.
