加州影视税收抵免增至7.5亿美元 16个新电视项目预计带来11亿美元支出
2025年7月2日，加州州长加文·纽森在加州洛杉矶县 Burbank 市宣布，加州影视税收抵免计划的年度额度由3.3亿美元提高到7.5亿美元，增幅超过一倍；同日有16个新电视项目获批加入该计划，预计合计带来11亿美元支出与近6,700个演职人员岗位。
这16个项目是该计划最近三个电视申请窗口批出的，包括9部续拍剧、2部试播集、4部新剧与1部迁入加州拍摄的剧，合计预计雇用6,664名演职人员、59,000名背景演员（按工作日计），在加州拍摄1,308天。续拍剧包括 HBO Max 的《The Pitt》、Hulu 的《Paradise》与 CBS 的《NCIS: Origins》，迁入的剧是 Prime Video 的《Mr. & Mrs. Smith》。
纽森说，加州是影视娱乐的诞生地，这次扩额就是要让它继续留在这里，投的不只是剧组与摄影棚，还有中产的工作、小商家与支撑这个标志性产业的社区。州长高级顾问兼加州商业与经济发展办公室主任 Dee Dee Myers 说，这是为加州的长远布局。加州电影委员会主任 Colleen Bell 说，这个计划保的不只是开机，还有从业者的职业生涯与机会。
州长办公室说，这笔抵免自2009年设立以来已支持近850个项目，带来逾270亿美元经济活动与逾209,000个带医疗与养老金福利的岗位，过去每发出1美元抵免，加州约有24.40美元经济产出。办公室同时说，该计划年年超额申请，近年约69%没能拿到抵免的项目后来转到外州拍摄。
这次扩额由上周交付的州预算案落实。自抵免设立以来，这次首次让所有项目都能退税，新版 Program 4.0 已于7月1日启动。加州电影委员会接下来两个申请窗口是电视项目7月7日至9日、电影项目8月25日至27日。州长还预计签署另一部法案，把该计划再作现代化调整。

California Film and Television Tax Credit Rises to $750 Million as 16 New TV Projects Bring an Expected $1.1 Billion in Spending
On July 2, 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced in Burbank, a city in Los Angeles County, California, that the annual funding of California's Film and Television Tax Credit Program would more than double, from $330 million to $750 million. Sixteen new television projects were awarded through the program the same day, together expected to bring in $1.1 billion in total spending and nearly 6,700 cast and crew jobs across the state.
The 16 projects, approved across the program's last three television application windows, include nine renewals, two pilots, four new shows and one relocating show. Altogether they are expected to hire 6,664 cast and crew members, as well as 59,000 background performers measured in days worked, across 1,308 total California filming days. The returning series include HBO Max's “The Pitt,” Hulu's “Paradise” and CBS's “NCIS: Origins,” and the relocating series is Prime Video's “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”
Newsom said California is where filmed entertainment was born and that the expansion makes sure it stays there, investing not just in productions and soundstages but in middle-class careers, small businesses and the communities that power the industry. Dee Dee Myers, the governor's senior advisor and director of the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development, called the expansion a play for California's long game. California Film Commission Director Colleen Bell said the program is about sustaining careers and building opportunity, not just keeping cameras rolling.
Since the tax credit began in 2009, the governor's office said, it has awarded nearly 850 projects, generating over $27 billion in economic activity and supporting more than 209,000 jobs with health and pension benefits; in past years each dollar of credit awarded has returned about $24.40 in economic output. The office said the program is oversubscribed year after year, and that in recent years an estimated 69 percent of rejected projects went on to film out of state.
The expansion was delivered by the state budget bill signed the previous week. For the first time since the program began in 2009, the credits are refundable for all projects, beginning with Program 4.0, which officially commenced on July 1. The California Film Commission's upcoming application windows are July 7 to 9, 2025 for television and August 25 to 27, 2025 for film. The governor was also expected to sign additional legislation to modernize the program.
