This is part of an overhaul at the company. Netflix confirmed the exit.

Costume designer Joanna Mae Park and her husband Steven Jones, a production designer, had been working on Netflix’s “Pieces of Her” in Canada in mid-March when television and film productions the world over began rapidly shutting down amid a collective effort to stem the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
The couple had moved all the way from Sydney for the job, having their 18-year-old and 21-year-old remain at home while enrolling their youngest, a ninth grader, in a new school in Vancouver. The project had been in its ninth week of pre-production and just a week away from filming when work was first suspended, and then forced to a halt. That meant a sudden move back to Australia — the country’s officials had on March 16 urged its citizens to fly home before overseas travel became “more complex and difficult” — and another change of schools for their son, who had...

Netflix is taking on close to 250,000 square feet of studio and office space in Toronto, as part of its agreement to invest in Canada’s entertainment industry.

Netflix is opening a production hub in Albuquerque, where it plans to shift production for some of its films and TV shows, in an announcement that represents a snub of Los Angeles.
The streaming giant said it’s in final talks to acquire Abq Studios, a facility with eight sound stages, production offices and a back lot in Albuquerque’s Mesa Del Sol. Netflix says it will use the new studio for production of its irreverent apocalypse dramedy Daybreak, supernatural drama Chambers, and epic, suspenseful drama Messiah.
