Case Study: Rosewood
Television shows like Dexter, CSI Miami and Nip/Tuck all have two things in common: they were fictionally set in Miami, but filmed in Los Angeles and Orange County. This year, Fox’s new show Rosewood joins this list. Rosewood is a police procedural drama that focuses on Dr. Johnny Rosewood, the owner of one of the top independent crime labs in the country.
Rosewood is a recipient of the California Film & Television Tax Credit. As a result of Rosewood shooting in Southern California, the state will benefit economically from an estimated $40 million in direct production spending by the series during its first season. This spending supports over 400 full time cast and crew jobs, in addition to over 2,700 positions for background players.
