Warner Bros. Discovery has announced plans for a major expansion of the UK studios where “Barbie” — its biggest movie of all time — was filmed.
The expansion will increase the production capacity at the studios in the Leavesden area, on the outskirts of London, by more than 50%. The investment is expected to create 4,000 “direct and indirect” jobs across the United Kingdom, the company said Friday. The site will become the main production hub for the DC Studios franchise once the expansion is completed in 2027, it said in a statement. “Barbie” is Warner Bros.
The “Harry Potter” series and the “House of the Dragon” television show were also shot at the Leavesden studios. “Harry Potter” fans can tour the studios, visiting sets used in the production. News of the UK expansion comes as Warner Bros. Discovery is grappling with prolonged strikes by actors and writers in the United States, which have stopped the production of most shows and movies and will cost the company up to $500 million this year, according to its estimates.
