maltatoday | SUNDAY • 4 SEPTEMBER 2022 4 TELEVISON GO announces new TV production LUNA GO invests in more Maltese television content with LUNA set in 1990s Sicily GO has announced its next exclusive production, LU- NA, set in early 1990s Sicily, which will air on its platform TOKIS this October. LUNA will depict the life and love of a Sicilian teenager born into a family where cus- toms and traditions influence life and mould it. "We are very excited to bring more exclusive TV content to our customers. LUNA is the second executive production we have participated in and comes on the back of Chalet, which was exceptionally well received by the public last De- cember," Senior Manager for Marketing at GO plc said Ali- son Mercieca said. "Local TV enthusiasts are hungry for more Maltese pro- ductions, and we are proud to be able to deliver, as we remain committed to our in- vestment of over €1 million over the next three years, to support the local industry so that our customers' TV expe- rience gets better every day." Mercieca said that GO is de- lighted to have an active role in Malta's TV industry, where it is not only injecting finan- cial support to local produc- tion companies but also lead- ing to the creation of further opportunities to showcase local talent, both locally and internationally. "Collaborating with a com- pany like GO on such produc- tion means that we have more resources to overcome the many challenges we face as production companies," ex- plained Michael Vella Haber, who, together with Evelyn Saliba La Rosa, co-scripted LUNA. They described the storyline as "a roller coaster of emo- tions and a journey full of love, obedience, deceit, and patience where the protago- nists have to manoeuvre in si- lence in an attempt to survive and protect loved ones. After thirty years of this, one phone call changes everything. A call that leads all involved to face the past, embrace the present and search for the missing." The period drama Chalet, announced in December of last year, was the first an- nounced production in col- laboration with GO. This was followed by the announce- ment of the popular TV series Iċ-Ċaqqufa which will return exclusively to GO Originals this coming December. In June, GO launched l-iS- pettur Leonard, a spin-off from the popular series Sim- patiċi which will be aired on GO's Tokis platform, followed by the announcement in Ju- ly of the Women of George Cross Island series, which will also start airing on GO Origi- nals in October.
