VERSA Studios, the network of TV and Film studio production facilities, is expanding its London footprint with the acquisition of an additional 200,000 square feet of space adjacent to its existing location in Ealing, West London. This new facility will house ITV’s Big Brother, including the Celebrity edition, with the nightly Late & Live show to be filmed next door at VERSA’s original London studio.

The new space will provide versatile infrastructure for TV, film, and live productions, and its fibre-linked connectivity designed specifically for live broadcast TV shows aims to attract both UK and international productions, particularly from the US.

This expansion follows the successful relaunch of its Manchester TV studios, and brings its total studio space across the UK to 600,000 square feet, with additional space set to be added as part of its future plans.

Peter Mason, Ealing Council Leader, commented: “Our borough has a long and proud history of film and TV production, and today it remains a hotbed of industry expertise. We have a thriving creative supply chain sector, and Ealing is home to nine times more creative manufacturing spaces than the London average. We have highlighted the creative sector, including film, as a priority for future economic growth, and this significant expansion at VERSA Studios will support our ambition to create more good jobs for local people.”

Charlie Ingall, Executive Director, VERSA Studios, added: “VERSA’s expansion in London has been part of our ambitious growth strategy, and it further elevates our business as a first choice for large scale, high profile productions such as Big Brother. The significant investment we have made in this expansion gives us the ability to create long term homes for our clients, and in turn support the TV and Film community.”
