Nestled into the beating heart of Hollywood, Red Studios Hollywood is a living monument to the film industry’s rich legacy. With more than a century of history and a modern infrastructure that rivals any in the film industry, this iconic studio continues to define excellence in Los Angeles’ vibrant and historic production scene.

Originally built in 1915 as the Metro Pictures Backlot, the studio has seen numerous transformations, serving as home to Desilu Productions and Paramount Pictures before becoming Ren-Mar Studios in 1984. In 2010, Red Digital Cinema Camera Company acquired the property, rebranding it as Red Studios Hollywood. This evolution is a testament to the studio’s ability to adapt while remaining a cornerstone of the entertainment industry.

The studio’s four audience-rated soundstages, totaling 76,000 square feet, are perfectly sized for single productions, offering unparalleled freedom and flexibility. Productions booking at Red can enjoy the luxury of owning the lot entirely – no competing shows, no shared spaces, just the freedom to roam and work without any interruption.

Red’s illustrious history is matched by its extensive roster of iconic productions. The studio has hosted a who’s-who of iconic productions, from timeless TV classics like Hogan’s Heroes, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Golden Girls to blockbuster films including A Nightmare on Elm Street, When Harry Met Sally, Terminator, and Moneyball, and many more. And over the past decade, Red Studios has been the exclusive home of Amazon’s hit series Bosch. But now, for the first time in a decade, Red’s stages are open to filmmakers and productions eager to work in one of Hollywood’s most legendary spaces.

Beyond the stages, Red Studios also provides eight fully equipped office buildings and six remodeled bungalows, ensuring that production teams, executives, and crews have every resource they need. From state-of-the-art lighting and grip services to the convenience of on-site truck parking, the facility is designed to accommodate productions of all sizes, from intimate indie films to blockbuster features. Clients enjoy exclusive access to a state-of-the-art private screening theater, featuring luxurious leather recliners, ideal for hosting intimate film viewings or collaborative sessions with creative teams.

Red Studios Hollywood’s appeal is further amplified by California’s newly expanded film and TV tax credits program. Announced by Governor Gavin Newsom last month, the program’s annual budget has increased more than twofold, from $330 million to $750 million. With a tax credit range of 20-25%, the initiative hopes to be a boon for the Golden State, and they hope that more productions will look to call California home, restoring California’s status as the preeminent global entertainment center.

As it celebrates its storied past, Red Studios Hollywood is gearing up for its next wave of iconic projects and is poised to continue its legacy as a pillar of Hollywood filmmaking for generations to come. For over 100 years, Red Studios has been where cinematic magic happens, and with its blend of history, innovation, and world-class facilities, it shows no signs of slowing down.
