Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery led the way in the latest round of tax credits granted to productions by California’s film office.
Production entities owned by Disney nabbed a combined $128.8 million, barely besting companies under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella ($127.9 million), the California Film Commission said Wednesday. Combined, they will shoot 11 shows in the state, hire roughly 2,650 crew members and spend an estimated $695 million (excluding above-the-line costs).
Disney’s 20th Century Studios was awarded nearly $94 million in tax credits for four untitled shows, including one that will relocate from another state ($48 million). It also covers Family Guy spinoff Stewie, which got a two-season order and takes advantage of California’s recent changes to the tax credit program expanding the eligible categories of productions.
