Netflix says it will contest Georgia's recently passed abortion law and 'rethink our entire investment' in the state if the law goes into effect.
Though major studios have so far remained quiet on Georgia's recently passed abortion law , Netflix on Tuesday said it will contest the legislation and"rethink our entire investment" in the state, should the law going into effect.
"We have many women working on productions in Georgia, whose rights, along with millions of others, will be severely restricted by this law," said Sarandos in a statement first published by Variety."Given the legislation has not yet been implemented, we'll continue to film there, while also supporting partners and artists who choose not to. Should it ever come into effect, we'd rethink our entire investment in Georgia.
Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams are continuing to make their HBO show"Lovecraft County" in Georgia, but they said they will donate all of their"episodic fees" to organizations fighting the law, including the ACLU. Thanks to tax credits, Atlanta has in recent years become a major hub of TV and film production. Georgia has been home to productions including Disney's Marvel blockbuster"Black Panther," AMC's smash series"The Walking Dead" and Netflix's hit sci-fi series"Stranger Things."
