Netflix has opened a new animation studio in Vancouver, expanding its production footprint in British Columbia. The 110,600-square-foot facility will support feature animation and house more than 450 employees, with further integration planned with Netflix’s visual effects division. Officials said construction contributed over $50 million to provincial GDP, with ongoing operations expected to add $100 million annually.
The studio is already producing its next film, Steps. Executives highlighted Vancouver’s talent base as a key factor in the expansion. The launch strengthens the city’s position as a global centre for digital entertainment and animation production.
