The downturn is mainly in high-end TV, with UK studios expecting US studio tentpoles to keep on rolling.
Alarm is mounting about the impact on production in the UK and Northern Ireland of the ongoing Writers’ Guild of America (WGA) strike and the threat of industrial action by US actors’ union SAG-AFTRA.
The sector has been rocked by the halt in production at Amazon Studios’ Blade Runner 2099 series which was prepping at Belfast Harbour Studios. It is unlikely to resume production until 2024.
UK suppliers and service companies have told Screen that they are already being affected by the strikes and facing a quiet summer.

The Norfolk site has previously hosted Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir.
The Raynham Hangar Studios facility in Norfolk, which housed the 2017 shoot of Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir, and Hogg’s The Souvenir Part 2 this year, has revealed a three-year expansion plan after securing £5m in private investment.
The site’s main studio space, a 45,000 sq ft hangar, was purchased by a private investor in March this year for £3.5m, with a further £1.5m signed off in October to be used for upgrading 20 surrounding units to be used for production offices and other film production activity.
