What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

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.
