TORONTO — Bell Media has set the stage to acquire a majority stake in Pinewood Toronto Studios, which has been used to film “Star Trek Discovery” and “The Expanse.”<\/p>\n
The complex includes 11 purpose-built stages, offices, teaching facilities and a variety of support services for film and television clients.<\/p>\n
Financial terms weren’t announced by Bell Media, which owns the CTV television network, multiple specialty television channels and Canada’s largest collection of radio stations.<\/p>\n
It’s making the deal in partnership with Comweb Studio Holdings, Castlepoint, and the City of Toronto.<\/p>\n
Nanci MacLean, head of Bell Media Studios, will oversee the operations.<\/p>\n
She says that one of the first moves will be to add a further 51,793 square metres (170,000 square feet) of sound stages and support space.<\/p>\n
It already has a 4,274 sq. m (46,000 sq. ft) sound stage, one of the biggest in North America.<\/p>\n
“The addition of Pinewood Toronto Studios to our portfolio offers us an exciting new advantage in meeting the rising demand for original content across all media platforms,” MacLean said in a statement.<\/p>\n
