London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 12/16/2022 --Bottle Yard Studios has been the site of many excellent productions in recent years, including The Netflix show The Last Bus and The Outlaws, which was made for The BBC. In fact, over the past decade, the studios have been the location for more than 70 productions. Now the studio facilities are being expanded with three extra stages added via a new TBY2 site, which is located just half a mile away in South Bristol. With the addition of the second site to the Bristol City Council facilities, there will now be the capacity for many more productions to be filmed at the same time. The second site increases the number of stages from eight to 11. As a result, it is likely to create a large number of television jobs, with many new opportunities set to result from productions at the new studio site in the next 10 years.
During the development stage of the new Bottle Yard Studios site, around 135 jobs were created. Over the next 10 years, the council's Senior Film Manager expects another 800+ television jobs to be available as a result of the construction of the second site. The first show that is going into production at the new studio site is a version of 'Rivals,' which is based on the book by Jilly Cooper. The second Bottle Yard Studios site should open the door to a whole spectrum of 'top notch' film and television productions and create many more television jobs in the region, according to industry insiders. The site has been redeveloped and funded through a mix of finance, including £12 million from the West of England Combined Authority. This investment is designed to help promote the fact that the region is firmly open for business again after the pandemic.
