After American Idol, America’s Got Talent Is Also Leaving Hollywood – Report

America’s Got Talent is reportedly set to leave Hollywood. This is yet another reality show expected to leave Los Angeles after the confirmation of American Idol moving to the Atlanta area. The report comes amid LA facing production issues, leaving film workers and union leaders worried.

America’s Got Talent reportedly leaving Los Angeles

As per TMZ, America’s Got Talent will be departing from Los Angeles. Sources told the outlet that the show might film its upcoming season in Georgia or Nashville. TMZ explained that the reason behind this move is money, with other states offering lucrative tax credits and production incentives. Recently, Fremantle confirmed that American Idol will be shifting to the Atlanta area.

L.A. has been dealing with production tumbles, leaving union leaders, film workers, and elected officials concerned. TV production in the L.A. area ended up going down 27% in the second quarter compared to last year, according to nonprofit FilmLA. This is mainly due to fewer reality TV shoots. Last year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill to increase the cap on film and TV tax incentives from $330 million to $750 million a year.

This week, Governor Gavin Newsom and the Legislature made an important move to ensure California’s status as the biggest job contributor nationwide. The Governor signed Senate Bill 180 to extend CalCompetes, the state’s successful business incentive program. The bill extends the program by an additional five years to fiscal year 2032-33, after it was scheduled to sunset next year. This helps boost economic incentives for the coming years. Despite the effort, California is allegedly struggling against states coming up with attractive offers.

This year, Fox’s The Masked Singer also decided to leave its Fox lot in Los Angeles. It decided to move to New Jersey, providing lucrative tax credits. Moreover, ABC’s Shark Tank moved to Atlanta from its Sony lot in Culver City. As of now, America’s Got Talent’s relocation is yet to be confirmed.
