Streamers and Studios Mount Major Productions Across UK and Ireland
Screen Daily has compiled a list of high-end television and film productions currently shooting in the UK and Ireland. The list provides details on projects for major streamers including Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, and HBO, alongside titles for traditional studios. For each production, the report includes information on shooting schedules, locations, producers, distributors, and key cast members.
Key Takeaways
- Streamers are funding major IP extensions, including HBO's *Harry Potter* series, Prime Video's *The Lord Of Rings: Rings Of Power* (S3), and Netflix's *Wednesday* (S3).
- Amazon MGM Studios is backing multiple large-scale titles, including the *Highlander* film reboot, the *Tomb Raider* series, and the third season of *The Lord of the Rings*.
- Netflix leads in TV series volume with at least six shows currently in production, including new seasons for *Bridgerton*, *Wednesday*, and *Black Doves*.
- Ireland is hosting productions like Netflix's *Wednesday* and A24's film *The Riders*, while Northern Ireland is the production base for HBO's *A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms*.
Why It Matters
The density of projects confirms the UK and Ireland's role as a primary international production hub. The slate shows streamers financing projects at a scale that is directly competitive with traditional studios; HBO's *Harry Potter* series and Prime Video's *Lord of the Rings* are shooting alongside studio films like Universal’s *How To Train Your Dragon 2*. This environment creates intense competition for local talent and facilities. What to watch is the release scheduling and ultimate performance of these competing IP investments, a key indicator of ROI for production in the region.
