Overview
- Applications surged nearly 400% from the prior TV round, and the film commission said every qualified project this cycle received a credit.
- The 22 awards are projected to drive about $1.1 billion in spending, support roughly 6,500 cast and crew, and account for more than 46,000 background-performer workdays and over 1,100 filming days.
- Notable recipients include The Studio ($13.2 million), a new Dan Fogelman Hulu drama ($42.8 million), The Comeback ($13.6 million), Presumed Innocent ($20.8 million), S.W.A.T. Exiles ($15.7 million), NCIS: Origins ($11.2 million) and Golf ($17.2 million).
- The revamped program lifts the annual cap to $750 million, raises the base credit to as much as 35% in Los Angeles, increases per‑project limits, and broadens eligibility to half‑hour series and other formats.
- Relocations are part of the mix, including Tom Segura’s Bad Thoughts moving from Texas and an Apple Studios series previously filmed in Canada, with most shoots slated for Los Angeles.
