Farnborough International Studios welcomed The Agency for series 2 of the acclaimed series, with the campus used as both a filming location and a studio base for the Paramount+ production across two major shoots in August and September 2025.

The Agency is a spy thriller series based on the acclaimed French drama Le Bureau des Légendes, with an award-winning cast including Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith, Katherine Waterston and Richard Gere.

The production made extensive use of Farnborough International Studios’ flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, transforming areas of Hall 1 and its associated entrances into doubles for two major London transport hubs. Across the shoot periods, the campus also supported crowd holding, catering, cast green rooms, crew parking, technical vehicle parking and unit base requirements. By utilising Farnborough International Studios as a location replica, this minimised security limitations, allowed complete access to all areas and facilitated the production to be able to utilise on-site parking, serviced costume and makeup areas and offered a combination of bespoke onsite catering and outside crew catering to support logistics.

During the first shoot, from 2 August to 9 August 2025, Hall 1, Advance, and Advance Mezzanine were used as a double location for Heathrow Airport. Inspire supported crowd holding and catering, while Innovate 1 and 2 were used as cast green rooms. Car Park 3, Car Park 4 and the West Hard Standing provided crew and technical vehicle parking.

The second shoot, from 29 August to 9 September 2025, saw Hall 1, Discover and the East Entrance dressed as a double for London City Airport. Inspire again provided crowd holding and catering, with Innovate 1 and 2 supporting cast green room requirements. Car Parks 2 and 3 were used for crew parking, unit base and technical parking.

One of the Studio’s 22,000 sq ft sound stages was also used for filming vehicle pick-up shots, accompanied by a driving plate shoot around the Farnborough campus to capture background footage for Virtual Production scenes. The production team were able to utilise both the private roads on site to enable both physical and virtual production to adapt their requirements for the various scenes.

Rachel Morrison, Venue Director at Farnborough International Studios, said: “Welcoming The Agency to Farnborough International Studios demonstrates the versatility, scale and operational strength of our campus. From airport doubles and studio filming to crew logistics, catering and unit base support, our team was proud to provide the production with a secure, flexible and production-ready environment once again.”

The Farnborough International team were also delighted that the production team took on a runner who recently completed the Farnborough International Studio’s Runner training programme in collaboration with Hampshire County Council, Rushmoor Council and All Spring Media, providing jobs and new opportunities for career development and employment for local people.

Farnborough International Studios offers a secure and highly adaptable production environment in the South East of England, within 40 miles of London. The site provides more than 210,000 sq ft of stage space, 1,000,000 sq ft of external space, extensive parking and ancillary production facilities, making it well-suited to complex television, film, commercial and content shoots.

The use of Farnborough International Studios for The Agency further reinforces the site’s position as an all-in-one production partner, offering stages, location doubles, offices, workshops, unit base space and logistical support within one private, secure campus.

Series 2 of The Agency is now available on Paramount+.

We’re proud to announce that Farnborough International Studios is once again listed on the BAFTA Albert Suppliers Directory for 2026.

The directory highlights organisations that can support sustainable production practices, and we are delighted to continue to be part of a community driving positive change across the TV and film industry.

Being listed on the BAFTA Albert Suppliers Directory means we have been independently assessed against the sustainability requirements set out by the BAFTA Albert team.

As part of our Destination Zero commitment, we generate over 30% of our site’s annual electricity needs through solar energy, while all energy on site is sourced from renewable sources.

We also send zero waste to landfill, recycling 98% of waste and recovering the remainder as energy.Our sustainability approach also extends to supporting productions on site, including encouraging the reuse and recycling of set materials and production assets wherever possible to reduce waste and minimise environmental impact.

Recent productions have also benefited from our sustainable infrastructure. During the filming of Paramount+ drama MobLand, the unit base was powered entirely through the site’s mains supply, with a significant proportion supported by electricity generated from our onsite solar installation.

Rachel Morrison, Studios Director at Farnborough International Studios, said:

“Being listed on the BAFTA Albert Suppliers Directory for 2026 reflects our continued commitment to reducing our environmental impact and supporting sustainable production. Sustainability remains central to our operations, and we’re proud to help productions make more environmentally responsible choices.”

We remain committed to continually improving our environmental performance across our business and studio operations while helping productions make sustainable choices throughout every stage of the filmmaking process.
