The state surged 87 percent in production spend in the quarter to $1.61 billion compared with California\u2019s 17 percent uptick.\n\n\n\n\n\tBulked up soundstage infrastructure, a large crewmember union base, easier access to neighboring Tri-State locations are all adding up for New York. Take Universal Pictures\u2019 Miami Vice: 85 as a case study. The Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler neo-noir actioner has been filming in the Empire State as well as Wayne, New Jersey along with its namesake locations in Florida.\n\n\n\n\n\tNew York also has what all states covet, and what California has been losing: scripted TV shows that run for seasons and seasons, often in the same soundstages. And inventory for soundstages has grown 43 percent in the state since 2020 with a boom in purpose-built facilities, per real estate services giant CBRE, which added in a June report that the state is \u201cbetter positioned for recovery than some competitor markets\u201d after studio belt-tightening on overall content spending.\n\n\n\n\n\tThis season the state hosts CIA, FBI and Elsbeth (CBS), The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (NBC) as well as staples like Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU (also NBC). In the city in October alone, crews for Apple TV\u2019s Ben Stiller-led comedy Protective Custody, A24 romantic drama Deep Cuts and Kit Connor true-crime film PREPPY all set up shop, among many other titles.\n\n\n\n\n\t\u201cCalifornia\u2019s production spending is starting to rise again, but New York\u2019s rebound has accelerated this year, putting it within reach of the country\u2019s largest production hub,\u201d Alex LoVerde, co-founder and CEO at ProdPro, tells The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cAs we compiled the third-quarter figures, we thought New York might actually come out ahead. California held its lead by just $147 million. Whether New York can overtake it is a key question we\u2019ll be watching in Q4 and 2027.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tTo be sure, a 17 percent uptick in California \u2014 the overall leader \u2014 is nothing to scoff at. Some 80 live-action film and TV projects shot in state in the quarter, per ProdPro. Gov. Gavin Newsom and his office, along with state and local officials in Los Angeles are all pledging to reduce red tape, curb production flight and keep studios in Burbank and Hollywood. After all, the state just went through a high-stakes game of chicken with David Ellison, who threatened to move Paramount to locales like Tennessee or Texas if California kept pursuing him in court over his successful bid to acquire Warner Bros. While that frayed nerves, it\u2019s now been smoothed over and the $111 billion deal is closed. Ellison can focus on revving up the existing studio lots in L.A. to make good on his 30-movies a year pledge (not all or even most of those shoot in-state, of course), and command an empire that produces more than 100 series at any time. \n\n\n\n\n\tYet, there are still high-profile defections from California. In a different quarter the headline for this story might\u2019ve been that Georgia \u2014 which had been hard-hit by the departure of Marvel superhero projects that sailed overseas to the United Kingdom \u2014\u00a0is bouncing back. And it\u2019s ironic that Marvel rival DC Studios is boosting the state. Georgia\u2019s 32 percent spike in production spend in the quarter can count James Gunn\u2019s DC sequel Superman: Man of Tomorrow as its tentpole resident shooting on-location. And Benny Safdie\u2019s Lizard Music and Netflix\u2019s Scooby-Doo origin series were shooting in state in the quarter, LoVerde notes. Also coming up soon: American Idol is packing up shop in L.A. and moving production to Atlanta. That\u2019ll be big given it\u2019s a stable, decades-long franchise that can set up a base.\n\n\n\n\n\tAnd we haven\u2019t even talked about New Jersey yet, aka Hollywood East, which is emerging as a major player in its own right and has arguably been the biggest growth hub over the past year in production. The state bestowed Netflix, Paramount and Lionsgate as studio partners, which have conferred a series of incentives to produce titles there. And it has been reaping the benefits. Of late, Netflix\u2019s Kevin Hart-Henry Cavill actioner Spy Duo and Adam Sandler\u2019s Grown Ups 3 have been filming in Monmouth County, while series like Cupertino (CBS) and Dan Levy\u2019s Big Mistakes (Netflix) shot in-state.\n\n\n\n\n\tWhile New Jersey fell 24 percent in filming count year-over-year in the quarter, there\u2019s an interesting case being made for why: its soundstages are at capacity, said Jon Crowley, who served as the state\u2019s film commission director. Netflix is building a base at the former site of Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Paramount inked a 10-year lease at in-development 1888 Studios just across from New York City in Bayonne, while Lionsgate is an anchor tenant of Great Point Studios in Newark. Those are all under construction.\n\n\n\n\n\tCrowley quipped that New York saw an uptick thanks to not enough stage space in Jersey being available and said the state is looking to claw projects back. (Days after Crowley spoke with THR he was ousted as film commission director, in a move that surprised insiders, with no reason given. But a New Jersey Economic Development Authority rep stands by Crowley\u2019s take, while also noting the state is looking to fill the key Hollywood role he occupied.)\n\n\n\n\n\tAnother growth market in the states has been Illinois, where Gov. JB Pritzker has touted infrastructure projects to draw Hollywood and championed incentives and production spending in the state. Illinois saw a 15 percent uptick in live-action film and TV series shooting in-state but saw spending decrease in the quarter. ProdPro exec LoVerde points out that the comparable quarter last year in Illinois saw Apple TV\u2019s sci-fi thriller Dark Matter shoot there for season two. It\u2019s currently powered by Dick Wolf\u2019s Chicago procedural franchise, where Med, Fire and PD all shoot ahead of airing on NBC. And several films, including the NFL and Hallmark\u2019s Holiday Touchdown: A Bears Love Story, shot in state. \n\n\n\n\n\tNew Mexico, meanwhile, is dealing with its own summer lull, dropping 93 percent year-over-year. The state, which counts NBCUniversal and Netflix as studio partners, was recently dealt a blow when Ransom Canyon, which employed 700 cast and crew in state to stand in for Texas Hill Country in Netflix\u2019s romantic Western, was canceled after two seasons. Netflix\u2019s The Four Seasons started at the end of the third quarter, while Apple TV and Sony\u2019s Vince Gilligan drama Pluribus will start filming in the fourth quarter, LoVerde notes. So there\u2019s a silver lining there.\n\n\t\u201cThere are fewer of those than there used to be,\u201d producer Steve Graham, who leads the New Mexico Film Office, told THR in August about big-ticket filming in state. \u201cSo our average budget per production has gone down, but our number of productions recently has gone up, so we\u2019re seeing a lot more modestly budgeted independent features, and even some independent television. I think we\u2019re in the middle of a change in the way the industry is working.\u201d\n\tOverall, U.S. production spend accounted for $4.9 billion in the quarter, up 17 percent year-over-year. And that\u2019s ahead of any possible movement on a federal film and TV tax credit, which could further boost states outside of the top five major hubs as potential locations for features or series if Congress passes a bill and Trump keeps the White House backing the plan. But, for now, the race that will be watched is whether California may cede its status as the top location for Hollywood projects. New York City is on a hot streak." ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792080014.402752", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-15T16:15:33.133133+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/new-york-california-hollyood-production-1236730758/" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-10-15T16:15:33.124416+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "New York Poised to Overtake California as Top State for Hollywood", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792080014.402752", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-15T16:15:33.043080+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--reject=js,mjs,woff,woff2,ttf,otf,eot,mp4,m4v,mov,webm,ogv,mkv,avi,flv", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "--timestamping", "https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/new-york-california-hollyood-production-1236730758/" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-10-15T16:15:33.031630+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/new-york-california-hollyood-production-1236730758/index.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1792080014.402752", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-10-15T16:15:24.358043+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "New York Poised to Overtake California as Top State for Hollywood", "warc": null, "wget": "www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/new-york-california-hollyood-production-1236730758/index.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1792080014.402752", "newest_archive_date": "2026-10-15T16:15:36.588351+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-10-15T16:15:23.385214+00:00", "path": "/business/business-news/new-york-california-hollyood-production-1236730758/", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "c38bd148-48f9-4e3c-8897-a1f1a350d325", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1792080014-import.txt" ], "tags": ",war-wiki,drudge,pool", "tags_str": "war-wiki,drudge,pool", "timestamp": "1792080014.402752", "title": "New York Poised to Overtake California as Top State for Hollywood", "updated": "2026-10-15T16:15:23.385017+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-10-15 16:15", "url": "https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/new-york-california-hollyood-production-1236730758/" }
