Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos offered a road map to the rest of Hollywood for how to safely go back to work while the coronavirus is still raging around the globe.
“While we will need to change this process — in some cases dramatically — to ensure the safety of cast and crew during this pandemic, the closed nature of sets also offers some advantages,” Sarandos wrote Monday in an op-ed published in the Los Angeles Times. “Not least that they provide a relatively controlled environment, where we can track who comes and goes.”
While all other Hollywood studios have been shuttered for almost two months, Netflix has slowly begun to resume some of its international productions in South Korea, Iceland and Japan.
