Star Trek: Pinewood Toronto Studios Names Sound Stage After Franchise

Pinewood Toronto Studios renamed the sound stage where Star Trek: Discovery was filmed to "The Star Trek Stage" to honor its final season run.

Pinewood Studios has had a rich history in the entertainment industry, encompassing nearly nine decades since its original facility in London opened in 1936. Some of the industry's biggest franchises filmed in their facilities include Star Wars, James Bond, Doctor Who, and Star Trek. The Canadian-based Pinewood Toronto Studios, established in 2009, has been the home for the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Discovery, and with its fifth and final season, the sound stage where the show was being filmed, has been renamed in the franchise's honor, now rebranded "The Star Trek Stage".

"Pinewood Toronto Studios has become a second home for our Star Trek family, and we're grateful that they've named a stage in honor of the franchise," Alex Kurtzman, Star Trek executive producer, said in the statement.

"We look forward to welcoming many more productions to come." Star Trek: Discovery streams on Thursdays on Paramount+.
