Tracker Lands $48 Million California Tax Credit for Season 4 Move — Tracker Cbs California Tax Credit
Tracker cbs california tax credit is moving production from Vancouver to Los Angeles for Season 4, backed by a $48 million California tax credit. The CBS thriller will start shooting in California in June after three full seasons largely filmed in Vancouver.
Justin Hartley and Los Angeles
The $48 million credit is the largest California incentive tied to the move, and it exceeds the $42 million credit received by Fallout to shoot in Los Angeles. Justin Hartley, the lead actor, now front-loads a production shift that changes where the series is made after its 2024 debut and two more seasons that kept it mostly in Canada.
Three full seasons in Vancouver gave the show a stable production base even as the story itself was set across the United States. Moving the work to Los Angeles puts the series inside the market it is helping support, with California using the credit to pull one of CBS' most important shows in the last two years back into the state.
Season 4 Begins in June
June is the next production marker, with Season 4 set to begin then after the Season 3 finale on May 24. The show premiered in 2024, Season 1 ended in May 2024, Season 2 ran from October 2024 to May 2025, and Season 3 arrived in October before this relocation was set in motion.
$48 million also gives the move a size that is easy to compare against other scripted incentives, with the Fallout deal serving as the benchmark named in the facts. For readers tracking where this kind of series is made, the practical change is simple: the next season of Tracker will be built in California, not Vancouver, and the incentive package is large enough to make that shift explicit.
California Tax Credit Shift
For anyone following production economics, the important part is not just the new location but the mechanism behind it. Tracker is moving because California is helping pay for the relocation, and the size of that help signals that the state wanted the show back for Season 4 rather than leaving it in Vancouver for a fourth straight year.
