Production of CBS’ “Tracker” will relocate from Canada to Los Angeles for its fourth season after being awarded a $48 million tax credit from the California Film Commission, officials announced Monday.
The state announced the award in March, but the exact project wasn’t identified at the time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The $48 million credit is the largest award the state commission has provided to a relocating series.
The commission previously awarded $42 million to Prime Video’s “Fallout” to move production from New York to Los Angeles for its third season.
“Tracker” is expected to film 176 days in California, employing 250 crew members and 275 actors, according to the film commission. It’s set to begin production in the summer.
L.A. Mayor Karen Bass hailed the decision, adding that “we’re bringing productions and entertainment jobs back to L.A.”
Bass, the City Council, and other elected officials advocated for the state to expand its tax credit from $350 million to $700 million last year.
“This comes with overall production in L.A. on the rise for the first time in years,” Bass said in a statement on social media.
Last week, FilmLA reported that film production in the region started seeing “encouraging signs of growth.” A quarterly report for on-location activity found there was a 10.7% increase in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the prior quarter in 2025.
On-location film production activity between January and March totaled 5,121 shoot days, up from the prior quarter’s 4,625, but that still represented a 3.3% decrease from the first quarter of 2025, which saw 5,295 shoot days.
FilmLA is the official film office for the city and county of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions.
To date, 147 projects have been awarded tax credits through the latest round of the California Film & TV Tax Credit Program. Each approved production was given 180 days to start filming, with the first of the projects confirmed to be underway.
In quarter one, FilmLA found that incentivized projects accounted for nearly 7% of all shoot days taking place in the Greater Los Angeles area, including 21.8% of all feature production and 17.1% of all television production happening on location.
The highlight of quarter one was the feature film category, which finished the quarter with 687 shoot days, an increase of 45.2% over the prior quarter, and a 52.3% increase year-over-year.
