Ontario film productions set a record in 2022, bringing in $3.15B.
Ontario is taking a big piece of the action in the film and television industry — racking up another record-breaking year for productions, raking in more than $3 billion for the economy.
Justin Cutler, Ontario’s film commissioner at Ontario Creates, told the Star that “production levels remained strong the entire year” and he was thrilled to see the final 2022 numbers. In 2022, the province hosted 419 productions — which, in turn, generated $3.15 billion in production spending for the economy — including popular Amazon Prime superhero show The Boys, as well as the Academy Award-winning movie Women Talking, directed by Canadian Sarah Polley and based on the novel by Manitoba-born writer Miriam Toews.
Ontario PC MPP Brian Riddell noted in the legislature Monday that The Handmaid’s Tale — the series based on Canadian author Margaret Atwood’s novel — has become his riding’s “unofficial claim to fame on the small screen. While viewers greatly enjoy this show as it wraps up its final season, local businesses in my community greatly benefited from the production and the work completed here.”
