With film tax credits restored, city lands new drama from Netflix

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Pittsburgh may have lost the upcoming Starz drama “American Gods” in November because of the state budget impasse that temporarily froze the film tax credit program, but that series has been replaced by the new Netflix drama “Mindhunter” from director David Fincher (“House of Cards”) and actress/​producer Charlize Theron.

This is again great news for the city of Pittsburgh and the filming industry here. It’s odd because I didn’t even realize there had been a lack of filming in Pittsburgh recently, however I am happy to hear that there will be a new television show filming here. And I think it is important that it is not a movie, but a TV show. Pittsburgh has been fairly established in the last 10 years or so as am affordable, yet quality city to film. Even more interesting is that it is a Netflix series, something that I think is a huge achievement given the recent critical acclaim that the company has received in the last few years. The show seems to have a lot of big names behind it which will hopefully bring in more revenue than the typical show or film.
