Christoforos Papakaliatis, creator and director of “Maestro,” the Greek drama show streaming on Netflix, has not ruled out a fourth season of the hit series.
In an interview with ABC News, Papakaliatis, who also stars on the show, said “People would very much want a season four and I would like to write it, but I need time to think about it.”
Season three premiered in Greece on December 2nd and the entire season has been available on Netflix in Greece and Cyprus since December 3rd. Season three wrapped up at the end of December while it began streaming worldwide a day later, on December 28th as “Maestro in Blue.” The series has been featured in the platform’s top 10 list of the most watched foreign shows globally.
During the interview, Papakaliatis described the filming of the show’s last season as a “sentimental roller coaster,” because “we all got so close, we became a family, the cast, the crew, the production people, so it wasn’t very easy to say goodbye.”
Papakaliatis also revealed the two reasons for the success of his show: the chemistry between the cast, and the Greek island of Paxos where the biggest part of the filming takes place.
He also expressed his love for Greece, Paris, New York and Los Angeles, where he spends much of his time and added that traveling and staying home by himself without doing anything is what relaxes him. “That’s necessary too,” Papakaliatis said.
