The Plot
Set on the idyllic Ionian island of Paxos, Maestro in Blue follows Orestis, a musician who organizes a local festival amidst the pandemic.

A murder complicates his journey, adding mystery to the emotional narrative.
Filmed against the stunning backdrop of Paxos’ turquoise waters, the series has been celebrated for its stellar ensemble cast. Alongside Papakaliatis, the series features acclaimed Greek actors such as Haris Alexiou and Maria Kavoyianni, as well as Fanis Mouratidis, Marisa Triantafyllidou, Klelia Andriolatou, Stefania Goulioti, Giannis Tsortekis, Antinoos Albanis, Orestis Halkias, and Giorgos Benos.
With 15 episodes aired so far, Maestro in Blue has captured international audiences, earning an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.1/10 on IMDb. Its critical and popular success cements it as a landmark for Greek storytelling on the global stage.
