Amusingly, every single photo in this article is of a physical set.
To be fair, the ceiling height on that enormous soundstage volume at Pinewood Toronto is exceptional.
We’ll miss those two-story sets when the lease is up.
You’d think Slashfilm, as an industry inward-looking site, would have done the research though. Just because it’s in Canada, doesn’t mean it’s not publicly available information. Or, they could have asked. Makes me more cautious on their basic journalistic standards.
I've always wondered - is the Volume at Pinewood, or is it at the CBS studio?
It’s at Pinewood on the old Portlands owned by the City of Toronto on the east side of the downtown core. The Pinewood complex is now minority-owned and run by the massive Bell Media. There is currently construction underway to double the size of the complex.
CBS Stages Canada in Mississauga opened in 2019 (Deadline, local articles ). Mississauga is just west of metro Toronto in Peel County. Toronto International Airport is on the border of the two.
SNW has its soundstages at CBS Stages, and it seems the Enterprise bridge set from Discovery season 2 had to be relocated from Pinewood and rebuilt there.
CBS Stages Canada is an initiative of the two Canadian EPs working on Discovery, SNW and Starfleet Academy - Frank Siracusa and John Weber. There were articles locally in 2018 when the project launched saying that they had convinced CBS Studios to establish their own soundstages for future rather than rely on leasing.
Oh is this why s02e03 was set in Toronto? As a Canadian I'm always surprised when I see shows set here so I figured there must be some reason.
