Martini Film Studios, located outside Vancouver, British Columbia, has agreed to extend Netflix's leasing deal for another five years.
After shooting Space Force, Mixtape, Another Life, Ivy & Bean, and Grendel at the studio complex in Langley, B.C., Netflix will have continuing access to eight soundstages and over 260,000 square feet of total production space under the new contract. The video streaming giant also has a long-term lease on seven soundstages at the Canadian Motion Picture Park studio complex outside of Vancouver, as well as four more soundstages at MBS Northbrook, for a total of over 500,000 square feet of shooting stages, offices, and production support space in and around Vancouver.
“With more than 60 Netflix shows and movies filmed in B.C. since 2018, we’re excited to be redoubling our commitment to the region as a production center. There’s an incredible level of talent, innovation and creativity across the province, and we’re pleased to extend our relationship with Martini Film Studios which has been an outstanding partner,” Amy Reinhard, vp of studio operations at Netflix, said in a statement.
Netflix’s cementing its presence in the westernmost Canadian province follows the streaming giant and rivals like Hulu and Amazon lining up local stages and crews across Canada to generate their own original content for global distribution. Netflix has a separate production hub in Toronto, having taken long-term leases on eight soundstages at separate studios to help produce its growing film and TV slate while tapping local incentives.
