Illinois Expands Production Tax Credit Program to Cover Talk Shows, Game Shows and Other Unscripted TV Formats


Talk shows and game shows are now eligible to participate in Illinois' production tax credit program under a new law signed by Gov. JB Pritzker.

JB Pritzker has signed a bill that removes some restrictions that kept unscripted shows from participating in the state’s production tax credit program. According to an economic impact study commissioned by the Illinois Production Alliance, the state’s program brings a $6.81 return on investment for every dollar given out in tax credits. “With the tremendous support that Governor Pritzker has shown the industry, Illinois is well positioned to be a production hub and cultural touchpoint, for many years to come.”
