American Idol packs up Hollywood for Atlanta as LA production slows
ABC's American Idol will relocate its upcoming season from Los Angeles to the Atlanta area, the latest sign of a broader shift in TV production as California lags in tax incentives. Georgia offers a top 30% tax credit for eligible reality productions, prompting other shows like The Masked Singer and Shark Tank to move, contributing to calls for a federal film and TV tax credit to keep jobs in Hollywood.
