'American Idol' Is Leaving California for Georgia
The relocation follows Georgia tax credits that can reach 30%, while California’s incentives still leave many unscripted shows ineligible.
- ABC's American Idol announced it is moving production from Los Angeles to the Atlanta area for its 25th season, seeking more generous tax incentives available in Georgia.
- Georgia offers a 30% tax credit for qualifying productions, making it one factor behind the move as states compete aggressively for film and television projects.
- FilmLA reported television production activity in Los Angeles declined nearly 27% in the second quarter, while other series including "The Masked Singer" and "Shark Tank" also relocated from California recently.
- Viewers can still watch the show as usual, though the production shift will affect support personnel including camera crews, set builders, and other workers in California.
- California leaders continue exploring ways to retain film and television jobs, as industry groups warn the state "continues to lose productions" to competitors offering larger tax incentives.
