Production

McMafia was inspired by journalist Misha Glenny's non-fiction book McMafia: Seriously Organised Crime, published in 2008. The series took a few stories from Glenny's book, which documents various mafia organisations thriving around the world today. The series was created by Hossein Amini and James Watkins, and is a co-production of the BBC, AMC, and Cuba Pictures, in association with Twickenham Studios.[7]

The BBC announced the series in October 2015.[8] In April 2016, it was announced that James Norton had been cast in the lead role of Alex Godman and that co-creator Watkins would direct all eight episodes. Additional casting, including Maria Shukshina and Aleksey Serebryakov as Alex's parents, and David Strathairn as a shady Israeli businessman, was announced in November 2016.[9] In addition to Amini and Watkins, David Farr, Peter Harness, and Laurence Coriat co-wrote the series.[10]

Filming locations included London, Zagreb, Split, Opatija, Qatar, Mumbai, Prague, Cairo, Belgrade, Belize, Istanbul, Moscow, and Tel Aviv.[7][10][11][12] The budget was several million pounds per episode.[13]
