Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) touted the $750 million tax credit for film and television made in his state, calling it a “big part” of the “renewal” for Los Angeles. Newsom’s signature doubles the current tax credit of $330 million.

Joined by elected officials and entertainment industry workers, including Noah Wyle, the star of HBO Max’s “The Pitt” and NBC show “ER,” Newsom said the state will set aside $750 million – instead of the previous $330 million — to give tax credit to more TV and film studios, including independent productions.

California Governor Gavin Newsom approves a boost to the state's Film and Television Tax Credit Program, now totaling $750 million, potentially generating $1.1 billion in economic output and 6,700 jobs.
