The state remained the most prolific of the major production centers, hosting 97 projects in the 2021 cycle, which ended May 31, according to an annual survey of the television industry by FilmLA, the nonprofit group that coordinates film permits for the region.
Signs of a recovery emerged in the second quarter when TV drama production rose to pre-pandemic levels, with total shoot days totaling 1,501, up 120.7% over a five-year quarterly average., California remained the leading location across all television platforms , followed by New York, Georgia and British Columbia.
