Toronto Beams Up Star Trek for the Long Haul

A city where science fiction dreams come true. Toronto, the bustling metropolis known for its iconic CN Tower, has become an unexpected hub for the legendary Star Trek franchise. Mayor Olivia Chow, a long-time fan since her days in Hong Kong, now leads a city that has embraced this sci-fi phenomenon. Pinewood Toronto Studios, just east of downtown, has been a key player, hosting productions like Star Trek: Discovery and the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The city's appeal lies in its diverse talent pool and extensive studio space, which has attracted other major productions like The Expanse and The Boys. With competitive tax incentives and a supportive film office, Toronto has become a magnet for filmmakers. The future looks bright for the city and the Star Trek franchise, with plans to expand studio space and continue producing compelling content.
