HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — The Shapiro Administration announced a $34 million investment in two popular streaming shows to film in the Commonwealth, with a projected economic boost of more than $130 millions and thousands of jobs.

Netflix is renewing the popular comedy series “Tires,” starring Pennsylvania’s own Shane Gillis, who got his start in the ultra-competitive stand-up comedy scene. Meanwhile, Taylor Sheridan’s “Mayor of Kingstown,” starring Jeremy Renner, will be filming its fifth and final season in Pittsburgh.

The Shapiro administration has awarded “Tires” $6,048,580 through the Film Production Tax Credit Program for the production of season 3. This is estimated to inject over $24 million in direct spending, create 1,709 jobs and utilize 1,200 hotel nights. The show takes place in West Chester and will be filmed in the Philadelphia area

In addition, the administration awarded “Mayor of Kingstown,” Pittsburgh’s longest-running series, a total of $27,999,732 for the series’ final season to be filmed in the steel city. The investment also comes from the Film Production Credit Program. This is projected to inject more than $107 million in direct spending, create over 1,700 jobs, and utilize 5,600 hotel nights.

“Fueled by the Pennsylvania Film Tax Credit, Mayor of Kingstown has become a cornerstone production for our region — with Season 4 alone generating more than $95 million in economic impact for Pittsburgh. After three seasons here, the show has built genuine roots with our workforce, our businesses, and our communities. In addition to creating thousands of jobs and millions in economic activity, the production repeatedly invested back into the region through contributions to local nonprofits that supported scholarships, food security, and essential supplies for families in need,” Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Film Office Dawn Keezer said. “We are excited to welcome the production back this March for its final season and confident that its success will inspire more feature films and television projects to call Southwestern Pennsylvania home.”

The latest announcement comes less than three months after the Shapiro Administration announced a $49.8 million credit for HBO MAX to film season two of the hit series “TASK.”

The Pennsylvania Film Office, part of the state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), administers the Film Production Tax Credit Program. The program offers a 25 to 30 percent tax credit to productions that spend at least 60 percent of their total budget in the Commonwealth.

Shapiro’s last budget included $100 million for the film credit, and he’s asking for another $100 million in the 2026-2027 Pennsylvania budget.
