California Tax Credits Back Paramount’s Clueless Series and Ascent Amid Industry Turbulence

The California Film Commission awarded nearly $38M in Golden State tax incentives to Paramount's Clueless series and Viola Davis' Ascent, as part of a round that granted about $145.5M to nine TV projects; collectively the nine shows are expected to spend $608M in California, create thousands of cast/crew jobs, and inject significant local spending, with Clueless receiving about $16.3M and Ascent about $21M. Production for the pair is slated for 2027, even as Paramount faces an antitrust suit over its Ellison–WBD merger.

Baywatch Expands Venice Beach Footprint Ahead of Summer Shoot

Baywatch’s Venice Beach production is expanding its footprint as LA officials push to modify the show’s film permit after realizing the space required is larger than originally approved. The California Coastal Commission had approved 27 beach parking spaces and 177 city-lot spaces, but producers now seek roughly double the beach parking and overnight parking options, with nighttime filming expected to be approved. The shoot runs through July 16 and also takes place at other LA-area beaches; officials will maintain public access and wildlife protections, and a 20% discount on city parking was arranged to help facilitate filming.
