Production of CBS\u2019 \u201cTracker\u201d will relocate from Canada to Los Angeles for its fourth season after being awarded a $48 million tax credit from the California Film Commission, officials announced Monday.<\/p>\n
The state announced the award in March, but the exact project wasn\u2019t identified at the time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The $48 million credit is the largest award the state commission has provided to a relocating series.<\/p>\n
The commission previously awarded $42 million to Prime Video\u2019s \u201cFallout\u201d to move production from New York to Los Angeles for its third season.<\/p>\n
\u201cTracker\u201d is expected to film 176 days in California, employing 250 crew members and 275 actors, according to the film commission. It\u2019s set to begin production in the summer.<\/p>\n
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass hailed the decision, adding that \u201cwe\u2019re bringing productions and entertainment jobs back to L.A.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bass, the City Council, and other elected officials advocated for the state to expand its tax credit from $350 million to $700 million last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis comes with overall production in L.A. on the rise for the first time in years,\u201d Bass said in a statement on social media.<\/p>\n
Last week, FilmLA reported that film production in the region started seeing \u201cencouraging signs of growth.\u201d A quarterly report for on-location activity found there was a 10.7% increase in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter in 2025.<\/p>\n
On-location film production activity between January and March totaled 5,121 shoot days, up from the prior quarter\u2019s 4,625, but that still represented a 3.3% decrease from the first quarter of 2025, which saw 5,295 shoot days.<\/p>\n
FilmLA is the official film office for the city and county of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions.<\/p>\n
To date, 147 projects have been awarded tax credits through the latest round of the California Film & TV Tax Credit Program. Each approved production was given 180 days to start filming, with the first of the projects confirmed to be underway.<\/p>\n
In quarter one, FilmLA found that incentivized projects accounted for nearly 7% of all shoot days taking place in the Greater Los Angeles area, including 21.8% of all feature production and 17.1% of all television production happening on location.<\/p>\n
The highlight of quarter one was the feature film category, which finished the quarter with 687 shoot days, an increase of 45.2% over the prior quarter, and a 52.3% increase year-over-year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Production of CBS\u2019 \u201cTracker\u201d will relocate from Canada to Los Angeles for its fourth season after being awarded…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32351,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,14595,14596],"class_list":["post-32350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-canada","tag-relocate","tag-tracker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
