\n\tEXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: One of the biggest shows on television is relocating to Los Angeles with the biggest California tax credit for a series to date. CBS<\/a>\u2018 Tracker<\/a>, starring Justin Hartley<\/a>, will move from Vancouver, where the first three seasons were shot. Its studio 20th Television<\/a> is currently locking down production facilities in and around L.A., with filming on Season 4 slated to begin in late June.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile the relocation decision was just recently finalized, it had been in the works for awhile. It was telegraphed when the California Film Commission in March unveiled the latest round of TV tax credits<\/a> to 16 new and returning series and pilots under the state\u2019s $750 million incentives program. There was one relocating show on the list, code named \u201cUntitled Disney Entertainment Television Project 13,\u201d which was awarded an eye-popping $48M on $129M in qualified expenditures. (20th Television is part of Disney Television Studios, itself a division of DET.)<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline can reveal that the show is Tracker, 20th Television\u2019s biggest series to be lured back to California so far. Its $48M tax credit eclipses the $42M handed to Season 3 of Amazon\u2019s Fallout, which relocated from New York to Los Angeles with a tax credit for Season 2, and the $42.8M given to another 20th Television series, Dan Fogelman\u2019s upcoming NFL drama The Land.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m proud of what we built in Vancouver. I\u2019m also very excited we\u2019re bringing Tracker to L.A.,\u201d star and executive producer Hartley said. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to continuing to tell these stories alongside the new, fresh places we\u2019ll be heading to next. Most importantly, I want to thank the fans for showing up for us every step of the way. We couldn\u2019t do this without you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBy its nature \u2014 Tracker stars Hartley as a lone-wolf survivalist who tracks down people across the U.S. for reward money \u2014 the action drama is shot primarily on location in the wilderness. A move to California would provide the series with a change of scenery and an opportunity to explore new locales spanning a coastline, mountains and desert.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLocation is a huge part of the storytelling on Tracker,\u201d executive producer and showrunner Elwood Reid said. \u201cWe\u2019re so grateful to the crew and people of Vancouver who made the first three seasons of this hit drama possible, and are simultaneously thrilled to be able to kick off the fourth season of Tracker by filming in Los Angeles, thanks to the tax incentive program that supports bringing production back to California.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTracker\u2018s remote, rural locations setting would allow the series to take full advantage of the California incentives. TV shows can earn an additional 5% tax credit bonus \u2014 on top of the 35% base credit \u2014 for qualified expenditures incurred outside the L.A. 30-mile zone that covers the Greater Los Angeles area and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n

\n\tTax credits for relocating big-scale series like Tracker are being awarded for their projected outsized economic effect, creating jobs for L.A.-based crews and boosting auxiliary local businesses which have been hit hard by runaway production.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor its first two and a half seasons, Tracker was the most watched broadcast series. It is currently No.2 behind CBS\u2019 new breakout drama, Marshals, with 16.4M Live+28 multiplatform viewers in the U.S.. It ranks No.7 among all series \u2014 network and streaming ones \u2014 over the 2025-26 broadcast season.<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on the bestselling novel\u00a0The Never Game\u00a0by Jeffery Deaver, Tracker is set to return in the fall for its fourth season. Reid and Hartley executive produce with Ken Olin, Connie Dolphin, Sharon Lee Watson and Alex Katsnelson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: One of the biggest shows on television is relocating to Los Angeles with the biggest California tax…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":773096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[15218,1582,276,316856,15328,69544,2961,224,5337,45507],"class_list":{"0":"post-773095","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-20th-television","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-california-film-and-television-tax-credit-program","12":"tag-cbs","13":"tag-justin-hartley","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-tracker"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116517596685628153","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
