Welcome to Hullywood! City formalises filming offer as biggest production gets underway

Hull is stepping up its profile as a filming location hotspot as Apple TV launches the city’s biggest production to date, bringing cash into the local economy.

‘Blitz’ is currently filming at locations across the city, including Hepworth Arcade and Walton Street fairground, and has recruited more than 750 extras to be involved over the next couple of weeks. An additional spend of £250,000 is being eyed across hospitality and retail.

Hull City Council is now capitalising on this and other successful productions, including Enola Holmes Two, The Crown, The Extraordinary Life of David Copperfield and A Royal Night Out, by developing a TV and Film Prospectus and marketing plan.
