John Mayer and McG Acquire Historic Jim Henson Studio Lot for $60 Million

The purchase ends speculation about the property's future, previously linked to the Church of Scientology.

The Jim Henson Studio lot, originally established by Charlie Chaplin, has been sold to musician John Mayer and filmmaker McG.
The purchase price is reported to be around $60 million, with Mayer already having offices on the premises.
Fab Factory Studios, previously linked to the Church of Scientology, was initially interested but did not finalize the deal.
The Jim Henson Company will remain on the lot until 2025, allowing time to relocate to a new facility with the Creature Shop.
The lot's rich history includes being the former home of A&M Studios and a key site for Chaplin's film productions.
