Instead, production levels fell 3.7% in the third quarter — even as the share of projects receiving state subsidies continued to rise. Location shoots remain well below the five-year average.

State officials had hoped that the dramatic expansion of the state’s film and TV tax credit last year would show stronger results by now. After an encouraging first quarter of 2026, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declared that the industry was “turning a corner.” Related Stories ‘Death in Paradise’ Gets Its First International Adaptation in Croatia, Promises ‘Murder Mystery, Humor, Warmth and a Strong Sense of Place’ (EXCLUSIVE) ‘The Celebrity Traitors’ Scores Record-Breaking Season 2 Premiere With Nearly 9 Million Viewers But the number of shoot days has declined in both quarters since then, suggesting that the magnitude of the state tax credit was simply not enough to offset the forces behind the decline.

On the bright side, TV comedy recorded its best quarter since the 2023 strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, with 192 shoot days, up from 57 in the prior three months.

But that increase was more than offset by a decline in TV dramas from 732 shoot days to 494. Reality TV also continued to struggle with 630 shoot days, 66% below the five-year average.
