Filming for the new Canal+ series Omerta was under way at the Azelhof in Lier, Belgium. A party scene was being recorded in the bar while international show-jumping activity continued outside. Actor Benja Bruijning was involved in the production and said language differences occasionally led to humorous situations on set.

The series was described as focusing on putting wealthy people in difficult situations, an idea that Bruijning said immediately appealed to him.
