Film and TV productions generate £33m for Glasgow
Glasgow was turned into a film set for 140 shows and movies last year bringing in £33m of spent cash in the city. Shetland, the Buccaneers and US film, The Running Man, were among productions hosted in the city. The figures released in a council paper come as Glasgow's Bothwell Street is currently being transformed into New York to film Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Explaining more about the film industry in the city, a council paper said: 'Glasgow hosted 140 productions in 2024, resulting in an estimated local expenditure of £33m. 'Noted productions of scale included Shetland (S9), the second series of Apple TV's The Buccaneers, BBC's The Bombing of Pan Am 103, Sky's Lockerbie: A search for Truth and US feature film The Running Man.' It added: 'We will continue to work with our colleagues in NRS (the council's neighbourhoods, regeneration and sustainability department) to provide a free service to productions. '2025 brings three large-scale studio features to the city for location filming and several UK TV series basing their production office and crewing up out of Glasgow.' Glasgow City Council has made a committment to 'ensure that the growth and success of Glasgow's film and TV industry contributes to the local economy with local business, training, and employment opportunities.' It is working on ongoing actions to 'support film and TV production in the city' and 'promote sustainability within the screen sector in Glasgow.' The efforts form part of the council's mission to 'support the growth of an innovative, resilient and net zero carbon economy' under its 'Grand Challenge Two' policy to 'increase opportunity and prosperity for all our citizens' alongside a wide range of other work to try and improve people's lives. Details on the council's strategic plan performance relating to Grand Challenge 2 is to be presented at next week's operational performance and delivery scrutiny committee.
