Netflix’s new production hub in Toronto will create up to 1,850 jobs for Canadians per year

Netflix’s latest venture is a new production hub on Canadian soil.

The expansion of the streaming service’s presence in Canada comes in the form of two studio spaces in Toronto.

Netflix will lease around 164,000 square feet of property at Cinespace Studios that includes four sound stages, office space and support space.

It’ll also lease four sound stages and office space at Pinewood Toronto Studios, making up another 84,580 square feet.

Both sites will support a number of Netflix series and films and provide production jobs for up to 1,850 Canadians per year.

“With this commitment to Cinespace and Pinewood Toronto, we are proud to continue our investment in Canada and Canadian films and series,” said Ty Warren, vice president of physical production for Netflix.

“These new leases will enable us to expand our presence in Canada and provide a wealth of production jobs for skilled Canadian workers.”

Netflix already has a sizeable physical production footprint in Canada, which includes Martini Film Studios in British Columbia.

A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Game Over Man, The Package and more are all filmed in B.C.

The company announced in 2017 that it was committed to investing $500 million in content production in Canada over the next five years.

They’re currently on track to exceed that investment.
