The U.K.’s ongoing production boom is showing no sign of slowing down, or even plateauing.
According to new figures from the British Film Institute, film and high-end TV production topped 5.64 billion pounds ($7.67 billion) in 2021, a new record and way ahead of pre-pandemic production levels (which were already soaring). The period of April to June saw some 2.29 billion pounds ($3.11 billion) in spending, the highest three-month period for film and high-end TV on record by some margin and far outstripping the 1.54 billion pounds ($2.1 billion) generated July to September 2019.
