Amazon Prime Video Buys ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’ Studio Bray In Landmark UK Deal
deadline.comAmazon Prime Video has taken another big leap into the UK film and TV industry by acquiring the 70-year-old studios where Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is filmed.
Financials were not disclosed on the deal for Bray Film Studios, with the first Amazon production rolling cameras there set to be the second season of the Russo Brothers’ Citadel series in September.
Amazon MGM Studios was initially listed as the Bray acquirer, before being switched to Prime Video. Amazon, which already leases production facilities at the UK’s Shepperton Studios, will make TV series and feature films for streamer Prime Video from the site in Berkshire – around 26 miles away from Central London.
The acquisition includes approximately 53,600 square feet of sound stage space across five stages, 77,400 square feet of workshops, 39,400 square feet of office, 182,900 square feet of backlot, and 156,000 square feet of parking space.
