More than a dozen TV shows were awarded production incentives for filming in California, including several that are relocating from other states, such as action series \u201cMr. and Mrs. Smith\u201d and a reboot of \u201cBaywatch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, the 17 series are expected to generate $1.2 billion in economic activity for the state. The shows are estimated to employ a collective 5,165 cast and crew members, as well as more than 35,000 background actors.<\/p>\n

In total, the shows were awarded about $313 million in tax credits, with season 3 of the post-apocalyptic series \u201cFallout\u201d receiving the largest credit ($166 million). \u201cBaywatch,\u201d which relocated from Hawaii, was awarded a credit of $21 million, while \u201cMr. and Mrs. Smith,\u201d returning from New York and Italy, was allocated nearly $80 million. The Netflix show \u201cForever\u201d got nearly $63 million.<\/p>\n

These shows are the second round of TV projects to receive incentive awards under the state\u2019s revamped film and television tax credit program. Approved by state legislators and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom earlier this year<\/a>, the new program now has a cap of $750 million, up from $330 million.<\/p>\n

Eligibility criteria was also expanded to allow more types of shows to apply.<\/p>\n

The changes to the program came after intense lobbying<\/a> from Hollywood unions, studios and other insiders amid an exodus of filming to other states and countries with more generous production incentives.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia\u2019s creative economy isn\u2019t just part of who we are \u2014 it helps power this state forward,\u201d Newsom said in a statement. \u201cAnd when we make smart investments like our film tax credit, we\u2019re keeping talent here at home, supporting good-paying union jobs, and strengthening an industry that defines the California brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBaywatch\u201d executive producer and showrunner Matt Nix noted that the wildfires in January encouraged him to want to film in the Golden State. He said in a statement that the fires nearly destroyed his home, but that the \u201cheroism of the first responders who fought to save our community\u201d inspired him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaywatch was born in Los Angeles,\u201d Nix said. \u201cI\u2019m so glad we can bring it home again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
