The Council says a dramatic increase in the number of television productions being filmed in Cheshire East has produced a £2m bonus for the local economy.
In 2014, crews have done more than 130 days' work in the borough and have spent an estimated £1.99m.
This compares with 65 days' filming in 2013, which generated estimated spending of £1.04m.
The figures are calculated by Cheshire East Council's film and TV partner Creative England, which provides free support to productions filming in the English regions.
Creative England calculates estimated spending by using benchmark figures for each type of production, which are worked out from actual spending on productions filmed in the region.
Councillor Michael Jones, Leader of Cheshire East Council, said: "Film crews spend money on accommodation and services, which is a direct benefit to local businesses and the residents who work for them.
"That is why I am so pleased to see that Cheshire East has been so successful in attracting film producers to the borough. To double the number of days' filming in the space of a year is a fantastic achievement."
The total financial boost from filming this year is likely to top the £2m mark because ITV Studios and GroupM Entertainment were in Alderley Edge and Wilmslow last week to film scenes for The Trials of Jimmy Rose, a crime drama starring Ray Winstone and Amanda Redman.
Earlier this year, ITV cameras were in Bunbury to film Home Fires, a six-part second world war drama starring Francesca Annis and Samantha Bond.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire, an ITV reality show about the lives of glamorous women living around Alderley Edge and Wilmslow, will be shown in the new year on Freeview channel ITVBe.
Plus this autumn viewers in the UK and US saw historic Arley Hall, near Knutsford, in Evermoor - a mystery adventure for the Disney Channel about an American teenager who leaves the States behind for a new life in England.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
This press release is a distraction away from Cllr Jones who has failed Wilmslow in so many ways, ignoring our Council, our Trust and above all us. Millions of pounds wasted year after year with nothing to show for it.
Perhaps I'm watching a soap opera called Cheshire Eastenders - a never ending scripted story of borough wide waste, misery and angst.
Standby for more from Cllr Jones', if I'm not mistaken. After all, there's an election next May.
