The show premiered at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in June.
Taylor joined the cast on the red carpet at the 61st Monte-Carlo Television Festival where the opening screening was the world premiere of 'Last Light' which is being produced by MGM International TV Production and already on release in the United States and Australia.
Shot in Prague last year, Taylor was accompanied by his mum, Laura Bell, as chaperone and acting coach.

"The director, Dennie Gordon, was so impressed with Taylor, she really warmed to him and kept saying what a find he was.
"It was such a fantastic experience for him, he absolutely loved it and wanted to be on set to watch everything even when his scenes had been shot."
And it appears Taylor is following in the footsteps of his big sister Jessica who is already a seasoned actress.
Last year Jessica starred in a hard hitting new film about a bullied schoolgirl, simply called 'Jessica' and based on her own life experiences.
