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.
