Amazon Prime Video Buys ‘The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power’ Studio Bray In Landmark UK Deal


Amazon MGM has bought Bray Film Studios, where 'Lord Of The Rings: The Rings of Power', 'Citadel' & 'The King's Man' are filmed.

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 of a studio with such a storied heritage not only empowers us to produce more film and television in the UK, but also unveils a wealth of opportunities in the local community with respect to jobs and skills training at all levels of the production process.” Notably, the news comes six months after Amazon used a written submission to a parliamentary committee to warn the British government not to take for granted the country’s status as a production hub that can rival Hollywood.
