Prague’s film industry is heading into a packed year, with several international productions already working in the city and more preparing to arrive.

Among the biggest upcoming projects is a Netflix series based on Dan Brown’s novel The Secret of All Secrets.

The story places Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon in Prague, where he tracks a killer through streets near Old Town Square.

According to production plans, scenes will also involve the historic Klementinum complex and the Folimanka area, where the plot reportedly includes a search for a hidden laboratory. Producers intend to present Prague as itself rather than using it as a stand-in for another city.

The project remains tightly guarded. Casting details have not been made public, and the start of filming has not been officially confirmed.

The book itself has drawn mixed reactions, particularly regarding its handling of Prague’s past. Still, industry insiders see the television adaptation as a major promotional opportunity.

Industry figures see the series as a global showcase for Prague. Showrunner Carlton Cuse, known as one of the key creative forces behind the television series Lost, is leading the project.

Other productions continue to fill Prague’s streets. Martin Scorsese has recently been seen in the city, often accompanied by his daughter Francesca, while speculation grows about the arrival of actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence.

Crews filming the miniseries The Age of Innocence were spotted near Náměstěstí Míru and along the Vltava embankment, and the series Foundation is again using Czech studio facilities for its next season.

For local producers, the shift is clear: Prague is no longer just a stand-in for other cities but an on-screen destination in its own right.
