American Idol Heads South: Georgia to Host Season 25 Production

After more than two decades in Hollywood, American Idol will relocate production for Season 25 to Georgia, with Fremantle in final talks for an Atlanta-area studio. Georgia’s 20% transferable film tax credit plus a 10% uplift for promotional value helps the state attract major productions, part of a trend that has drawn shows like Stranger Things and The Walking Dead to Georgia; Season 24 wrapped with a Hawaii finale and the judges’ Hollywood Week was moved to Nashville as the show continues to evolve.
