'Timeless' Moves Production to California

NBC's Timeless, which had a surprise last-minute renewal after being canceled earlier this year, is now moving production from Vancouver to California.

As part of the third year of the state's revamped tax-credit program, the time-travel drama from Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke will relocate to the Golden State in season two, where it plans to employ approximately 250 cast, 220 crew and 3,000 extras. The show has been conditionally approved for $9.9 million in tax credits since the series is on track to spend nearly $40 million dollars in qualified expenditures (meaning wages to below-the-line workers and payments to in-state vendors).

It's worth noting that after NBC reversed course on its decision to cancel the series starring Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter and Malcolm Barrett, the show saw its licensing fee reduced and producer Sony Pictures Television absorbed the bulk of the production costs.
