Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service has struck a record-breaking deal to lease space at Shepperton Studios in the company’s first long-term commitment to making TV programmes and films in the UK.
“It is a ringing endorsement of not just Pinewood, but also the UK film and TV industry.”
“That is not the end of it,” said Golding, who said Pinewood had consent for a further 65 hectares (160 acres) to be developed.
For Pinewood, which has spent more than £1bn expanding its studio capacity since 2014, its bet on the streaming-fuelled demand for shooting facilities is paying off.
