Just days before its debut, Fallout looks to be assured a second season thanks to a $25 million tax credit from California.
Receiving one of the largest allocations ever from the program for a relocating series, the Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan post-apocalyptic drama is among a dozen shows awarded $152 million in incentives.
Primetime prequel NCIS: Origins, the Noah Wyle starring The Pitt, plus the Ryan Murphy executive produced Dr. Odyssey starring Joshua Jackson, and Grotesquerie starring Emmy winner Niecy Nash also were awarded credits through the California Film Commission run $330 million annual program – as you can see below.
Set to premiere on April 11, Fallout, based on the best-selling video game franchise, is almost as big a get for the CFC as it is a swing for Amazon Prime Video. Ever since the Golden State’s tax incentive imitative was revamped in 2014 to be competitive with the likes of Georgia, New York state and the likes of British Columbia and Quebec up in Canada, snagging series from other jurisdictions has been the jewel in the crown for the program.
Big budget Fallout, which filmed its first season in the Empire State, Utah, New Jersey and Namibia, is the 33rd series to relocate to California in the last decade thanks to the tax credit program. This latest round of TV projects unveiled this morning includes one relocating series, three recurring television series, and eight new television series, according to the CFC.
Of course, being awarded the tax credits, even big bucks like what Fallout has reaped, is no guarantee a project will go forward. The allocations are conditional on certain timelines being met, and a number of films and shows, like Season 2 of Amazon’s spy saga Citadel, have dropped out of the program after getting a green light.
