California Governor Wants to Restart Movie and TV Production, but Hollywood Players Aren't Ready Yet

California Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to roll out a framework for restarting movie and TV production in the Golden State, planning to publish the rules on Monday, May 25. Newsom made the announcement on a public video conference with eight representatives from the production side on Thursday morning. None of the panelists were excited about the prospect of a quick restart, often pushing back with COVID-19 safety concerns and calls for continued patience.

The video conference included luminaries such as Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) content chief Ted Sarandos, Stacey Morris from the production crew of many NBCUniversal movies and TV series, and Ava DuVernay, writer and producer of Netflix hit When They See Us.

Sarandos agreed that production work has restarted successfully in places like Iceland and South Korea, but he didn't want to conclude that the lessons learned there would apply to California right away.
