Ryan Murphy, HBO among recipients of California Film Commission $58m tax credits

Ryan Murphy's legal drama All’s Fair and HBO Original Drama Series Latitude among the recipients of $58m in tax credits awarded by the California Film Commission.

Five television projects received the credits, including one recurring television series, a limited series, and three new television series through the state's Film and Television Tax Credit Program, which is a 25% on qualified expenditures for eligible productions.

According to the California Film Commission, these projects are expected to spend an estimated $386 million in California during their upcoming seasons, directly supporting in-state local businesses and employing 1,196 crew members, 685 cast members, and 15,869 background performers—measured in days worked. They will generate approximately 438 filming days across California.

The Murphy-produced series All's Fair, a 20th Television production for Hulu, follows a successful divorce lawyer and the owner of an all-female law firm in Los Angeles and is expected to film a total of 97 days in California, including 10 filming days outside the Los Angeles area.

Faith Media Distribution’s Lot Patrol follows a group of overzealous, unarmed production lot security guards whose unpredictable shifts lead to a series of unexpected and often hilarious situations. It is executive produced by Manny Halley and Yolanda Halley, produced by Rodney Turner, and line producer by Tawana Turner.

HBO's Latitude had been awarded a tax credit in April 2024 but dropped out of the program due to scheduling conflicts. It has since rejoined the program, and is shooting over 125 days.
