Yes, “The Studio” is returning for a second season, this time with $13 million in support from the state of California.
The Apple TV+ show was one of 22 productions awarded a total of $256 million in state tax credits on Wednesday. This is the first allocation since the state expanded its filming incentive to $750 million overall in June — triggering a surge of interest from the studios.
According to the California Film Commission, applications leaped nearly 400% compared to the prior round for TV shows. Perhaps more noteworthy, no qualified projects were turned away.
“The Studio” is among the first to qualify under new eligibility rules that allow credits to go to half-hour shows. In the past, TV shows had to have episodes of at least 40 minutes to qualify — with exceptions for shows like “Veep” that were relocating from other states.
