The Voice May Leave Los Angeles for Cost Savings
12 Nov
Summary
- The Voice is considering a move from Los Angeles to save costs.
- Nashville and Atlanta are potential new locations for the show.
- Other reality shows have also left California for tax benefits.
NBC and the producers of "The Voice" are considering relocating the show from Universal Studios in Los Angeles as part of a cost-saving initiative. Potential new production hubs being evaluated include Nashville, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia. The possibility of keeping production in Los Angeles remains on the table.
"The Voice" has been filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood since its debut in 2011. The series, known for its two-cycle seasons, is currently producing its 30th season in Los Angeles, alongside a celebrity-themed special set for 2027.
This potential move aligns with a broader trend of reality television series departing California. Productions are often drawn to states offering more advantageous tax credit programs. "American Idol" recently announced its relocation to Georgia, and "America's Got Talent" has also been rumored to be considering a move to either Georgia or Tennessee.
Despite discussions of relocation, "The Voice" remains a strong performer in ratings for NBC. Its most recent fall premiere saw a 5% increase in viewership compared to the prior year, reaching 7.1 million viewers within seven days.
