Future bright for Ardmore Studios

Ardmore Studios is due to return to profit this year after securing two major productions including one led by Hollywood stars Michael Fassbender and Maggie Gyllenhall.

It comes just months after the studios in Co Wicklow were threatened with closure after missing out on a contract for US television series, Vikings.

But Siún Ní Raghallaigh, CEO of Ardmore Studios, said the studios will see “a return to profitability in 2013”.
