Production Park gives a voice to ITV singing show
Production Park has secured its first major television project with ITV, after being chosen to host the semi-final and final of The Voice UK later this year.
The state-of-the-art studio complex near Wakefield will welcome Lifted Entertainment (ITV Studios) to record the climactic episodes of the popular singing competition in front of around 500 live audience members. The production will use Studio 005 for the set build, with Studio 001 supporting as a primary production area.
It marks the first time the iconic red chairs and celebrity coaches of The Voice UK will be in Yorkshire, highlighting the region’s growing role in high-end television production.
Lee Brooks, co-founder and CEO of Production Park, said: “We’re delighted that The Voice UK has chosen Production Park as the home for its dramatic final stages. This year also marks our twentieth anniversary of hosting world-class artists for arena-sized productions, and we’ve expanded into high-end TV production. We look forward to welcoming the show’s crew, coaches and audiences to Yorkshire.”
Diego Rincón, creative director at Lifted Entertainment, added: “We are thrilled to bring The Voice UK to Production Park for the first time. The studios provide an ideal setting for the semi-final and final episodes, and we know the Yorkshire audience will bring tremendous energy to the show.”
Production Park has a strong track record in both live music and television production, having hosted clients including Coldplay, Pink, Beyoncé and Cirque Du Soleil for arena rehearsals, and Netflix, the BBC, and ITV for television projects. Notable productions filmed at the complex include Netflix’s crime drama Adolescence, starring Stephen Graham and Ashley Walters.
