Netflix cut the ribbon on its newly expanded studios facility in Albuquerque, featuring four new sound stages and backlot areas over 108 acres.
In unveiling the studio expansion, Sarandos thanked New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and “the numerous vendor partners” on the project, including the estimated 2,800 construction workers who built the new facilities. Other productions hosted at the facility include “Pulse,” Netflix’s first medical procedural, which employs 200 crew members and 30 background actors, and supernatural series “The Boroughs,” from executive producers the Duffer brothers (“Stranger Things”). Sarandos said that “as part of our commitment to sustainability,” the expanded Albuquerque studio incorporates features including on-site solar and battery storage systems, geothermal heating and cooling, all-electric appliances and 50 electric vehicle fast-charging stations.
