LOS ANGELES — Amazon Studios' big-budget spy thriller "Citadel" is set to become the highest-spending TV production to relocate to California in the history of the state's film and TV tax incentive program, as the technology behemoth shifts production from Britain for the show's second season.
The series is one of seven shows — two relocating series and five new series — that qualified for the latest round of film and television tax credits from the state. Spending by these productions is expected to total an estimated $527 million in the region, the California Film Commission said Monday.
Amazon will get a $25 million tax credit in exchange for moving its show to the state, where it is projected to spend an estimated $119 million in qualified expenditures, the commission said.
