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."

I don't have Netflix for a reason. Don't care what they think.
Netflix thinks all women are pro abortion 🤦🏿♂️
I am of many women working on re-production in GA,whose rights,along w/millions of others, will stand in opposition of severely murdering innocent human lives in the womb. It’s why I will work w/all ProLife groups to fight in court. I won’t have to rethink netflix cancelled
Rethought my commitment to netflix today.
Soon they'll be out of states to film. Then they'll beg them to be taken back. Like the cheating wife..
Just do this. I cancelled my subscription today. netflix
I don’t have Netflix. I will now subscribe
Get woke go broke. Hello netflicks_ I am a subscriber. While your shows keep me subscribed on two accounts, I will cancel my subscriptions if you move forward with your threats to Georgia. I doubt you have a second life to use in this instance.
debraj112 Don’t use anyway!
debraj112 Get ready I will be cancelling
I figure, once you're deemed too incompetent to give birth voluntarily--no one will care who you boycott--knock yourselves out while you can! PS Thank you Netflix for the support--and the donations!
Only Waffle House will care
It's better innocent kids are saved than me watching netflix
Why are so many ignorant comments saying that Netflix is joining politics. Big corporations OWN our govt. When the death penalty is outlawed, then I’ll believe “Pro-Lifers” actually care about life. Stop picking and choosing what life matters based on what law impacts you least
Netflix...No one cares.
Uh who cares?
Hey Netflix you are next, learn your lesson before it's too late...
Who cares. Dropped my subscription long ago
Looks like I’ll be canceling Netflix...
👏🏾 👏🏾
Time to abort netflix. you do realize that 100% of your employees were not aborted. Kind of cool how that works. Let me know if you can find anyone that was aborted that can work for you.
If Netflix picks sides on the abortion issue I will end my membership Just as I have stop watching and boycotted every network and corporation who seem to think they are in charge of the American ppl !
I going to rethink Netflix.
Bye Felicia
Time to drop Netflix
Feel free to go to high tax states. Wait, you wont, netflix
.Yaaaaass!
I think I'll unsubscribe to be honest
Netflix can go the hell back wherever they came from and take their baby murdering morals with them! I’ll use Amazon or something else!!!
Bravo! 🙌🏾 Don't worry about the subscription threats netflix. Talk is cheap.
That's an easy way to get half the country the boycott your company! netflix .... So you're saying you support the murder of babies? Choose wisely
it’s ignorant to say being prolife is anti-woman, you ignore millions of prolife women in that statement, you think all women think alike identitypolitics
Why is a corporation contesting a state law (GA) from another state? (CA) If Netflix wants to help in the “healthcare” field, clean up the streets in CA and contribute all of your “tax breaks” to your states PP.
Netflix thinking they should have influence on a state's laws. LMAO
boycottnetflix
🙏 🙏 thank you Netflix 🙏 🙏. Time to stand behind these barbaric decisions.
BYE BYE
Time to rethink about keeping Netflix then
Netflix owes its creditors $10.3 billion… good luck with that decision
Doesn’t matter, we canceled our subscription when they started promoting AOC and the Obamas’ films. This will not work out well for Netflix.
Before Netflix says it won't matter ask Dicks Sporting their stock has tanked since the went political. Netflix will tank
Just got off phone with netflix customer care just canceled my subscription. I won't put my hard earned $$ with a company that is for infanticide and abortion.
If Netflix pulls out of filming in Georgia then I will cancel my subscription.
So now Netflix wants to extort the state .
Glad I don't pay for my account
stay out of politics netflix you’re just asking to lose more customers to hulu 😉
So basically using economics/sanctions to effect political change...how very fascist of them...
1. Abstinence 2. Contraception 3. Birth Control 3. Pull Out 4. Plan B 6. Abortion How irresponsibility shall we tolerate?
I'm aborting netflix forthwith. If they love killing black babies so much they can do it without my coin. Prolife georgia AbortionBan
See Dick’s Sporting Goods
Last straw. I'm done. Obama was the first straw. Canceled NWO is on the way out👋🏽
Netflix So. You don’t care about democracy? If the people in Georgia vote for this it’s their right. Are you trying to engage in collusion to suppress people’s right to vote? Seems you are trying to bully your own ideology on these citizens.
Liberals are bullies.
I guess we're not among the 72
Oh no, now Georgia will have to choose between making Netflix happy and unborn Georgians being murdered. What a tough decision.
Goodbye Netflix
They should worry more about making good shows again
Thank you netflix
And I’d rethink my subscription, I mean CANCEL!!!
Thank you, Netflix!
Breaking: Tech Oligarchs Vs. God-fearing Americans. Who ya got!?
I thought Netflix was a network.. I did not know they are a CivilRights non-profit. ✊ In other news, cancelled my Netflix today. 🤣
Waoh! Netflix made an extremely bad decision. Do they not consider all the people who pay them monthly, who are against the murder of little innocent ones in the womb.
Bye netflix
So netflix is going to forego the GA tax incentives, and make movies/shows in expensive cities/states and then charge more for the service? Bad move.
Lmao, money ya know, money.
Netflix who? Good way to chase customers away is to play the political card... 🤐🤐🤐
And cancelled.
Oh by all means, those many women working on productions in Georgia for Netflix need to have immediate access to abortion so they can get right back to work there in Georgia for Netflix! I totally get Netflix’s concern on this one.
Boycott Netflix if the move into politics....
Works for me, anything to get this to the Supreme Court and have Roe v. Wade overturned.
Less liberal trash in Georgia is a great thing.
Bye netflix we don't give a shit...
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Props to a company willing to stand up for what is right.!!!!these laws are the most idiotic things I've ever heard of. How you can possibly take away a person basic rights. Is beyond me
netflix will pay heavy. More taxes, more wages for higher taxes and then turn to viewers to make up for those taxes. Then viewers BAIL. All due to getting involved in politics. Netflix have chosen their destiny. Viewers need to abort their subscriptions. Rate hikes are extreme
Gyro city courts and government going against science and the most important Mother Nature's maternal instinct. Life begins at conception you have choices a condom or birth control
Okay...when they do that, I will “rethink” my investment in Netflix. If Netflix pulls out of Georgia, I will cancel Netflix.
Time to cancel my subscription!
Bold strategy in the face of increased competition in the streaming market: come out against protecting babies in the womb. Let's see if it pays of for 'em.
Amazon prime will be just fine!
netflix ? I thought they just hired corrupt democrats and were a TV service. Hmmmm. I doubt GA will miss the pollution and trouble created by your company.
So what... Why people keeps spend money on it when you can get for free the day after. Fuck Netflix
Good. That state hates woman.
Good you can re-think your investment and take the tax breaks you been getting and gtfo
So what’s the problem, let them leave. Netflix can find a state the doesn’t care if you abort a day before delivery.
AbortNetflix
I guess I might have to rethink entire investment in my Netflix subscription then.
Well maybe the people on Georgia will decide an unborn babies life is worth more than a Netflix subscription.
reedhastings loves himself some dead babies.
BoycottNetflix
👋 So long, farewell, bye...Amazon Prime is better anyway. netflix AbortionIsNotHealthcare AbortionIsMurder Hollywood
People say Trumps a dictator, but to me this is more authoritarian than anything he has done. States and business' are now taking our choices away.
Why is Netflix interested in this? Isn't their primary business model making shows/movies? What even comment on this?
Proving once again that netflix is 100% a liberal organization. I'm sure Georgia will be just fine without work from these scumbags
Who cares. Alabama will be just fine without Netflix. They were fine before they even existed. Keep passing those laws everywhere
New serial killer show soon on Netflix called Planned Parenthood
As a Georgian I'd like to say 'Get fucked, Netflix'
What kind of promiscuous people are you employing
Dear Netflix, Learn from recent BuzzFeed and Vox lay offs
See ya. Go back to filming in CA and NYC. They miss ya and your money netflix
Netflix has balls,unlike the GOPs
What’s up with Netflix entire catalogue being serial killer and jail shows?
Meh.
