#CALIFORNIA ON TOTAL LOCKDOWN SERIES#
Growth has been primarily driven by the advent of TV streaming services, which grew their original series count by more than 2400% from a mere seven series in 2011 to 177 by 2020.” FilmLA “This number grew to 452 by 2020 – an increase of 128%.
The report found that in 2011, a total of 198 series were released, mostly broadcast and cable shows. Production of cable shows declined at an annual rate of 1.8%.” Overall, the average number of series aired on streaming platforms grew at an average annual rate of 35.4%, compared to just 2.2% for broadcast series. “In this cycle, streaming series comprised 43% of the total, followed by cable at 33% and broadcast at 24%. Looking back at production trends over the last 10 years, “streaming services now dominate the television industry,” the report says. As a result of production delays, many series that would have aired in the last 1 ½ years are either still in production or nearing completion.” The report says that although the arrival of additional streaming services this past year like HBO Max, Peacock and Paramount+ “was expected to push the number of original series in production to new highs,” instead “the pandemic forced dramas and other scripted TV shows to postpone shooting. “Production slowly returned last summer (2020) and was then hit with another slowdown due to a second Covid surge in late fourth quarter 2020/early first quarter 2021.” The report notes that in the second quarter of 2020, the global Covid pandemic “brought scripted television production – along with production of other forms of filmed entertainment – to a halt.” FilmLA estimated that about 198 U.S.-produced, English-language television series were either shut down or unable to commence production between mid-March and mid-June that year. “This signals that production is returning, but the production pipeline logjam remains for the time being.” In Los Angeles, however, shoot days for TV dramas in the second quarter of 2021 were up by 120.7% over their five-year quarterly average. “The slowdown that Covid created in the television production chain continues to be felt after one-and-half years into the pandemic,” FilmLA said in its 2021 Television Report. Series production in Utah was up 16.7% (from six shows to seven), while Louisiana experienced a 14.3% decline (down from seven shows to six). production hubs, Illinois saw a 30.8% decline (down from 13 to nine shows), while Texas went from no productions to nine. The United Kingdom, meanwhile, saw a decline of 11.8% (from 17 shows to 15). In Canada, scripted shows filming in British Columbia were down 18.8% (from 48 series to 39), while Ontario saw a 28% decline (from 25 series to 18). “The pandemic shut down production in Georgia for two months last spring, compared to three months for Los Angeles and most other jurisdictions.” “Georgia is one of the production centers that had an earlier return to production during Covid,” FilmLA explained.
