Fallout TV Series Cast and California Tax Credits
Amazon MGM Studios’ Fallout is relocating from New York to California for its second season, receiving a significant portion of $152 million in tax credits. This move will generate an estimated $153 million in qualified expenditures and create around 170 jobs. Fallout is now one of the largest relocating projects in the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program’s history. The program has attracted 33 relocating series since 2009.

The California Film Commission awarded tax credits to 12 television projects, including Fallout. These projects include one relocating series, three recurring series, and eight new series. This initiative aims to boost the California economy and create jobs in the entertainment industry.
Beyond Fallout‘s direct employment, the economic impact on California is substantial. The twelve projects receiving tax credits are projected to generate $1.1 billion for the state’s economy. This will support local businesses and create jobs for approximately 2,300 crew members, 2,200 cast members, and 50,000 days of work for background actors. Filming will begin later this year, providing crucial opportunities for local film and television workers. An estimated 1,253 filming days are projected for California, with 39 days outside the Los Angeles 30-Mile Studio Zone in locations like Oxnard, Ventura, Lancaster, and San Diego County, further distributing economic benefits statewide.
The tax credit program’s success goes beyond financial incentives; it strengthens California’s reputation as a leading destination for film and television production. Attracting projects like Fallout helps retain and attract talent, strengthening California’s entertainment industry. Fallout‘s return to California underscores the tax credit program’s effectiveness in fostering a thriving entertainment industry.
