EXCLUSIVE: Pinewood, the famous British film studio facility, is closing its television unit.

The company said it had taken the decision following an internal review and it comes amid a slowdown in comedy and entertainment commissioning in the UK.

Pinewood’s TV division hosts shows including Taskmaster and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. Bookings through to 2025 will be honored.

Pinewood said: “Following a review, during 2025 we are planning to close our TV department which services the light entertainment TV market.

“This does not affect TV shows already booked for 2024 and 2025, nor does it affect any other film or TV productions at Pinewood’s sites. We have started a consultation process with colleagues who are affected.”

“We are very proud of the work the TV team has delivered over the years, having hosted many major titles for the UK’s broadcasters.”
