CBS Hit 'Tracker' Moves Production to Los Angeles After Record $48 Million Tax Credit

California's expanded tax program lured the CBS hit to shoot in the state.

The hit CBS TV show Tracker, starring Justin Hartley, will not be returning to B.C. to shoot its fourth season. Thanks to a large tax incentive from the California government, the series will be relocating to Los Angeles and will begin shooting season 4 in late June.

Overview

  • Tracker, which previously filmed three seasons in Vancouver, was confirmed Monday to relocate to Los Angeles for Season 4 after securing a California tax credit.
  • The California Film Commission listed the series for 176 filming days tied to about $129 million in qualified spending, employing roughly 250 crew members and 275 actors.
  • 20th Television is locking down Los Angeles facilities with filming slated to begin in late June, and star Justin Hartley and showrunner Elwood Reid praised the move and thanked Vancouver crews.
  • The state incentive offers a 35% base credit plus a 5% bonus for work outside the Greater Los Angeles 30‑mile zone, a structure that fits the show’s on-location, wilderness-heavy shoots.
  • The award is the largest yet for a relocating TV series under California’s $750 million program, surpassing credits for Fallout and The Land, and it signals more jobs and local spending in L.A. as Vancouver tallies the loss despite its own enhanced incentives.
