Netflix is currently shooting its newest comedy 'Turn Up Charlie' on the islands of Ibiza and Mallorca. Starring Idris Elba, it tells the story of "a failed DJ trying to relaunch his career while working as a nanny for his superstar best friend's wild child 11-year-old daughter."

Co-created by Elba and producer Gary Reich, the web show will have eight 30-minute episodes. Also starring, are Piper Perabo from 'Coyote Bar', JJ Feild, and Frankie Hervey.

The crew were filming at Ibiza Airport yesterday, after shooting in Mallorca for two weeks, mostly in private locations. Idris Elba is more than well-suited for the role of Charlie as he's been DJing for years. You can dance to his particular take on house music this summer on the White Isle, where he hosts his Studio 7 party every Sunday at the exclusive Lio restaurant and club.
