If Sleepy Hollow is renewed for a third season, the Fox series will leave North Carolina and film in Atlanta, Georgia.
Following the end of North Carolina’s Film Tax Incentive program, the first major network series is backing it’s bags and moving down south.
According to Star News Online, Sleepy Hollow will film Season 3 in Atlanta, Georgia.
“We’ve explored other places to produce that show and I will tell you it came down to Atlanta and Vancouver and it looks like we’ll head to Atlanta,” she said following a news conference at the Television Critics Association winter 2015 press tour. [via]
Last year the North Carolina state government chose to let the state’s tax incentive expire. Lawmakers replaced it with a grant program that will give out no more than $10 million in total to qualified productions. The most each production can receive under the new program is $5 million.
On the brightside for North Carolina actors and crew members, “Under the Dome” will return to film in the spring, and will collect $5 million in tax incentives. But, for Fox executives, $5 million was not enough to keep “Sleepy Hollow” in North Carolina. Crews are expected to finish filming in Wilmington, North Carolina later on this month.
