Amazon Prime Video Buys U.K.’s Historic Bray Studios, Where ‘Rings of Power’ Season 2 Was Filmed


Amazon MGM Studios is buying the U.K.'s Bray Film Studios, where it shot the second season of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.'

The first production to be located there following the purchase will be the second season of the Russo Brothers’ spy series “Citadel,” starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, which is scheduled to begin filming in September. “The acquisition of a studio with such a storied heritage not only empowers us to produce more film and television in the U.K., 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.” Bray Studios, located in Water Oakley, Berkshire, has a filmmaking heritage that dates back to 1951, when Brit horror icons Hammer Films made the estate on which it’s built its permanent home.
