Joined by elected officials and entertainment industry workers, including Noah Wyle, the star of HBO Max’s “The Pitt” and NBC show “ER,” Newsom said the state will set aside $750 million – instead of the previous $330 million — to give tax credit to more TV and film studios, including independent productions.

Governor Newsom signed the expansion of a $750 million film and TV tax credit Wednesday to anchor productions in California.

Nine months after first proposing to increase the annual amount allocated to California's film and TV tax credit program, Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed it into law.
