CBS’s ‘Tracker’ Moves Production to Los Angeles With Record California Tax Credit

The relocation follows a $48 million state incentive designed to draw major TV work back to California.

Overview

  • The CBS drama, which filmed its first three seasons in Vancouver, disclosed Monday it will shoot Season 4 in Los Angeles after securing a $48 million tax credit.
  • Studio 20th Television is locking down LA facilities, with filming slated to start in late June and the series set to return in the fall.
  • The award is the largest California credit yet for a relocating series, based on $129 million in qualified spending and surpassing the allocations for Fallout and The Land.
  • California Film Commission records list 176 planned shooting days in the state and jobs for about 250 crew members and 275 actors.
  • Producers say California’s coast, mountains, and deserts suit the show’s location-heavy format, and the program can add a 5 percent bonus for work outside the 30‑mile zone.
