DGCine in the Dominican Republic announced the country failed to attract a new unnamed Netflix production. The company had filmed 10 captures of a series in 2018 without any incidents. Yvette Marichal, director of DGCine, had confirmed the company had expressed concern after the deaths of US citizens at a southeastern resort. She said the company is awaiting the results of the toxicology study carried out to the US tourists.
The production would now be filmed in Indonesia, as reported.
DGCine said that the company had been scouting and had not made known the name of the production for which the country was being considered.
The TV production would have meant over RD$500 million in subcontracting to local providers.
