The British television crime drama series ‘The Good Ship Murder’ will be airing its Christmas Special on Channel 5 tomorrow evening at 10 PM local time, featuring none other than the beloved local actor Antonella Axisa!

Having shared the trailer of the Christmas special, where she can be spotted portraying Detective Kovacic, Antonella is celebrating this role after a year of achievements, including her role in the action film ‘Sniper: G.R.I.T’, distributed by Netflix earlier this year.

While the series was filmed aboard the working cruise liner MSC Virtuosa, which operates out of Southampton, much of the filming actually took place in Malta! The show is produced by Clapperboard and Fifth Season, marking Clapperboard's fourth production in Malta within just two years.

Well done Antonella!
