After six years, Paddington is back, this time in our country! The new installment of the world's most famous bear tells the story of his return to his native country, Peru, the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (PromPeru) has highlighted.

"Paddington in Peru" is a production by StudioCanal UK. It is directed by Dougal Wilson and based on the English children's story "A Bear Called Paddington" by writer Michael Bond. The first two films were successful, grossing nearly US$500 million.

Starring renowned actors Olivia Colman and Antonio Banderas, "Paddington in Peru" is set to be an unmissable adventure for families.

It will be released in UK cinemas on November 8, 2024, and in Peruvian movie theaters on January 1, 2025.


In the capital, the chosen locations were the Historic Center (including its Main Square) and the Miraflores Boardwalk.


It is important to note that, through Film In Peru —a service that is part of PromPeru's strategy to promote our country as a destination for film locations— assistance was provided for filming both in Lima and Cusco.

This support involved coordinating with public and private entities to secure filming and drone usage permits.

Additionally, guidance was provided in processing 26 visas for the film crew.

In recent years, Film In Peru has supported international audiovisual productions such as "Dora and the Lost City of Gold," "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts," "Street Food Latin America," "Down to Earth with Zac Efron" "La Reina del Sur," among others.
