An international streaming service has become the first long-term tenant of Liverpool’s specialist pop-up studios.
In October last year, two 20,000 square feet studios complete with sound stages opened up off Edge Lane to meet increasing demand from production companies to film in the city. Since then, television commercials have been shot on site, with around £1m in rent projected to be generated from lettings on site.
Now, a new player in the US streaming service battle has become the first major occupant of the site on a seven-month basis. Liverpool Council has confirmed Paramount+ has hired out the Depot for filming on its upcoming drama Sexy Beast, a prequel to the 2000 film of the same name starring Ray Winstone.
