Netflix Sets Sights on Radford Studio Center in L.A.

Radford, a 55-acre site with 22 soundstages, would bolster Netflix’s production capacity in Los Angeles as local studios face softer demand, potentially setting terms for lenders and signaling a landmark move for the industry.

Guilds Threaten Legal Action Over Picketing Conditions

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA are considering legal action against Radford Studio Center, a Hollywood studio owned by Hackman Capital Partners, for allegedly depriving them of their constitutional right to protest safely and fairly. The unions claim that Hackman has designated certain gates as "neutral" during the ongoing strikes, limiting the picketing area and creating unsafe conditions. The conflict arises as the unions demand explanations from Hackman, while the studio claims to support the unions' right to picket and offers amenities but declines to explain its gate rationale. The unions are investigating legal options to enforce their members' constitutional rights.
