What is the role for major streamers and studios in the UK's film and high-end TV industry?

The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is continuing its Film and High-End TV inquiry. In this session, MPs will question Paramount, Netflix, NBCUniversal International and Amazon on their inward investment into the UK’s Film and TV Industry.

The Cross-Party Committee are likely to explore what makes the UK an attractive destination for making film and high-end TV, and what global competition and broader market forces could mean for investment in the UK.

Questions could focus on the companies’ views on the use of copyrighted content by AI developers, as well as potential levies or obligations on streamers to invest in UK-based production. MPs could also discuss the companies' differing approaches to securing studio space and the industry’s shift to virtual production.

The panel may also be asked for their views on how to address the current skills shortage within the industry, including skills development and efforts to improve working conditions.
