The enormously popular streaming service Netflix<\/em>\u2014with over 200 million global subscribers<\/a> in 2020\u2014is making a big move locally with their decision to put down serious creative roots in Brooklyn. In September the global TV\/movie giant will officially launch an all new, state-of-the-art production studio in Brooklyn\u2019s own Bushwick, a vibrant community on the rebound whose proud residents have weathered a somewhat mercurial history. Along with the streaming service\u2019s thriving production studios already established in London, Madrid, Seoul and Toronto, Netflix\u2019s commitment to Brooklyn\u2019s future promises to be an economic as well as creative boon to the borough in general, and to the entire Bushwick neighborhood in particular.<\/p>\n

To initially fulfill their commitment Netflix pledged to spend more than $100 million\u2014which will go a long way towards the expected creation of thousands of local jobs and business opportunities\u2014and then in 2019 leased two NYC facilities that included a 100,000-square-foot office space in Manhattan\u00a0as well as the impressively sized Brooklyn production studio space.\u00a0Netflix then rapidly partnered with the Brooklyn-based owner Steel Equities<\/em> to refit and seriously upgrade the production studio space to exceed the highest film industry standards.<\/p>\n

The production studio itself will include a massive 170,000-square-foot facility with six full sound stages, multiple editing suites for maximum production efficiency, comfortable conference rooms for creative brainstorming and a full-service commissary (which will also be partnered with numerous local eateries and food services). <\/em>The expansive Bushwick-based sound stages will rival any of\u00a0 Netflix\u2019s previous efforts with its capacity to film any major release movie and\/or up to two complete TV shows simultaneously. As of this writing filming has already begun on two separate Netflix productions, titles to be announced at an upcoming press conference.<\/p>\n

To further bolster Netflix\u2019s ambitious inclusion to NYC\u2019s film industry, \u00a0New York City pledged $4 million in tax credits spread over the next decade, with the streaming service concurrently committing to the creation\u00a0of at least 127 jobs at their Manhattan offices prior to\u00a02025.<\/p>\n

Commissioner of the New York City Mayor\u2019s Office of Media and Entertainment<\/em>, Anne Del Castillo, was one of the prominent local government officials who recently toured the new Brooklyn production studio, along with a number of NYC film industry professionals eager to inspect the facility\u2019s production capabilities.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner had this to say following her tour-<\/p>\n

\u201cThis state-of-the-art facility is truly important for not only Brooklyn, but New York City as well. It\u2019s not just a nice opportunity we have here, it\u2019s going to become a real economic driver.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The September opening of the Bushwick-based studio is both a clear and promising signal of NYC\u2019s entertainment industry\u2019s return to its formerly thriving pre-pandemic glory. With NYC the creative home to over 70 film and television productions before the industry as a whole ground to a halt<\/a> amid the Covid crash, Netflix and Brooklyn are ideally poised to lead the industry charge back to a surging creative, entertainment and economic force.<\/p>\n

Michael Manas, Netflix\u2019s Bushwick facility Head of Operations, expanded on the role of the streaming service\u2019s commitment-<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a critical time for the entire industry to say, \u2018We\u2019re here, and we\u2019re back!\u2019 And for all of us at Netflix, this really is a neighborhood project that we believe in, and a future we want to explore together.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With a once proud industrial history as the \u201cbeer capital of the Northeastern U.S.\u201d,<\/em> Bushwick\u2019s much more recent past could be described as more star-crossed than success story up until its most current revival as one of the borough\u2019s more exciting and adventurous dining options, with a vibrant community of artists on call for duty.<\/p>\n

Netflix and Bushwick are ready for the call, and Brooklyn is more than ready to become an industry leader once again.<\/p>\n
