The United Kingdom and Ireland are continuing to solidify their positions as premier destinations for film and high-end television production throughout July 2025. A wealth of projects are currently in various stages of production, from development to post-production, signaling a robust and dynamic industry.
Major Productions and Star Power
Screen Daily has provided an in-depth look at the current filming landscape, highlighting significant activity across London and the wider UK. One of the notable developments is the recent wrap of the UK shoot for “The Queen Of Fashion.” This highly anticipated project has now revealed its full cast, which boasts an impressive roster of talent including Dane DeHaan, Stacy Martin, Joe Cole, and Ncuti Gatwa.
The industry is also looking forward to a packed cinematic calendar, with the latest UK-Ireland film cinema release dates for 2025 offering a broad overview of the upcoming slate. Beyond “The Queen Of Fashion,” several other high-profile productions are either actively filming or in advanced stages of development.
Adapting beloved literary works remains a strong trend, with Jane Austen’s classic novel “Sense And Sensibility” set for a new cinematic interpretation. Fans of the supernatural will be pleased to learn that a sequel to the cult favorite “Practical Magic” is in the works. Furthermore, the classic heist film “The Thomas Crown Affair” is being reimagined for a new generation.
Adding to the diverse range of projects, the feature film finale of the popular LGBTQ teen romance series “Heartstopper” is also on the horizon, promising a satisfying conclusion for its dedicated fanbase.
Blockbuster Activity and Studio Investment
Major studios and global streaming giants are heavily invested in the region, underscoring the UK and Ireland’s appeal for large-scale productions. The sheer scale of activity is exemplified by the presence of major studio projects such as “Avengers: Doomsday” and the highly anticipated third season of “The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power.” These productions bring significant economic benefits and showcase the advanced capabilities of the local production infrastructure.
London Remains a Filming Epicenter
London, in particular, continues to be a vital hub for the industry. The capital city is serving as the base for several prominent productions, including the thriller “The Wanted Man” and the second season of Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentlemen” series. The concentration of talent, studios, and supporting services in London makes it an indispensable location for both domestic and international filmmakers.
Industry Recognition and Strategic Growth
Beyond the productions themselves, the industry is also celebrating achievements and strategic advancements. Garden Studios recently received the prestigious Global Production Award for Sustainability at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, recognizing their commitment to environmentally conscious filmmaking practices. In a move aimed at bolstering its digital presence and outreach, the central London production campus has appointed The SEO Works to enhance its digital strategy, ensuring continued growth and visibility in the competitive global market.
The ongoing activity and strategic developments paint a picture of a thriving and forward-looking film and television sector in the UK and Ireland, poised for continued success in the coming years.
