The production crew of Netflix’s
The Royal Treatmentspent three days filming in Oamaru last week.
The 135-strong crew and large cast of mainly New Zealand-based actors and extras took over Harbour St and Tyne St from Friday to Monday, filming scenes for the movie. The film’s lead actors, Laura Marano (
The Perfect Date, Austin & Ally, Saving Zoe) and Mena Massoud
Aladdin, Hulu’s Reprisal), were also spotted out and about in Oamaru over the weekend.
Netlfix publicist Sabryna Phillips said
The Royal Treatment, directed by Rick Jacobson and written by Holly Heist, told the story of Prince Thomas (Massoud), who is set to marry a royal out of duty, when he meets Isabella (Marano), who is doing his hair for the wedding. As the story unfolds, they learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts, and the two fall in love.
