Sky Studios CEO Gary Davey: What We’ve Learned From Week One of Post-Pandemic Production (Exclusive)
Sky Studios, which develops, produces and funds original drama, comedy and documentary for Comcast-backed Sky’s 24 million pay-tv subscribers, returned to production on two shows this week – “Ich und die Anderen” in Austria and “Sisterhood” in Iceland. In a guest column written exclusively for Variety, Gary Davey, CEO of Sky Studios, shares learnings from the first week back in production, including tips from the production team on the ground.

It sounds like a fantasy, but sadly, few people in the world have been unaffected by the devastating impact of Covid-19 over these past few months.
