What happened
Fremantle and Simon Cowell’s Syco are reportedly considering moving the NBC show ahead of Season 22 from California to Georgia or Tennessee. Georgia’s tax incentive program offers up to a 30% tax credit for unscripted and reality television productions that spend a minimum of $500,000 in the state. This move occurs amid a sharp decline in unscripted TV production in Los Angeles.

Why it matters
The competition between states like Georgia and Tennessee for production investment is accelerating the decline of the unscripted TV market in Los Angeles. Unscripted production in Los Angeles plummeted 62.7% against its five-year average in the second quarter of 2026.
