The UK’s £500M Film and TV Production Restart Scheme officially opens today following state aid approval being granted by the EU.
The Dcms has extended the deadline for registration and start of production from December 2020 to February 2021 in a bid to cover more film and TV productions. The government department said today that “eligible productions will be onboarded within days.” Claims can be backdated to 28 July.

There will be a total cap on claims per production of £5M, and productions will need to pay...
