Netflix is also increasing our U.S. infrastructure footprint. Our investment into production facilities in New Mexico, announced in 2018, has yielded nearly $1 billion in productions and even more in local economic impact.1 This studio is supporting major tentpole franchises like Stranger Things. Likewise, in New Jersey, we’re spending over $1 billion to convert the former Ft. Monmouth military base, which was closed during the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, into a state-of-the-art production facility. This investment will revitalize the local economy and create even more American jobs. Importantly, this investment will also ensure more production in America. As a result of our New Jersey investment, at least 10 productions that would have been filmed abroad are instead being filmed right here in the United States.
